If the catholic church will have to give up its consultations of pregnant women, Maria Eichhorn doesn't rule out that more and more people will leave the church. I can imagine that, if this decision will be made, there might be a movement such as it exists in Austria. Many christians don't understand their church any more. Politicians from other parties welcomed the initiative of the central committe of German Catholics. Today, the committe started a donation campaign for maintaining the consultations.
Catholics are called upon their consciousness, they say.
Fischer presents report on how to save money on drugs and remedies In August, Federal Minister for Health, Andrea Fischer, agreed with representatives of the health insurances and medical doctors on ways hoe the drugs budget could be constrained. Today, a program was presented how this can be realised. However, it does mean that patients will have to get used to a new, but as effective, medication during the course of their therapy. Furthermore, the program includes that minor medications such as cough syrup or cold remedies will not be covered by insurances any more. Although this has been law for several years, it still has often been done in practice.
