What applies so far is quite a privilege. Not only children are insured free of charge in the statutory health insurance, but also spouses under certain conditions. This is when they don’t have a job or are only marginally employed, for example working in a mini-job. The Federal Government should now consider abolishing this privilege for spouses. This is what it reported on Monday Handelsblatt. The project is controversial within the SPD. But that would be correct – even if it might sound unfair to some at first glance.
