No higher fares in sight
Rising prices and rising wage and energy costs are causing more and more difficulties for healthcare institutions in Aargau, while vaka continues. Higher rates are not in sight. The demanding financing of healthcare services by the Confederation, cantons, communes, health insurance companies and patients makes it difficult to adjust rates quickly and realistically.
The hospital and clinic fees did not cover the costs. Nursing services are underfunded and low Complementary Benefits (EL) are not enough.
The sharp increase in benefits and the stagnation of health insurance contributions as well as the low missing compensation for public services compared to Switzerland have increased the pressure on Spitex organisations, the message concludes.
