What are the key factors contributing to the rising costs of long-term care in Germany, and how do these factors interact?

The crisis stems from rising costs, increased demand (5.6 million recipients in 2025 vs. 4 million in 2019), and the fact that the long-term care insurance doesn't cover all costs. Higher personnel costs due to new collective bargaining agreements and increased contributions from those receiving care and their families exacerbate the issue. The number of care recipients is projected to rise to 7.6 million by 2055.

How did the 'Open House' procurement procedure contribute to the current financial liabilities, and what were its design flaws?

The 'Open House' procedure, which allowed an unlimited number of suppliers to provide masks at a guaranteed price of €4.50 per unit, led to a massive oversupply. The resulting refusal by the federal government to accept all deliveries triggered numerous lawsuits from suppliers. The BRH estimates the potential liability from these lawsuits could reach €2.3 billion. Funding for these lawsuits is drawn from the Health Ministry's budget, potentially diverting funds from public health initiatives.
