Ingrid Korosec, president of the Senior Citizens’ Association, goes against the ÖGK in the offensive. It criticizes the increase in the amount costs for the more than two million pensioners and calls for a ruling in the leaders of health insurance.
Ingrid Korosec, president of the Austrian Senior Citizens’ Association, is upset by the Austrian health insurance fund (ÖGK). “It should not be that people have been paying for decades – and ultimately to get fewer performance,” Korosec has criticized the “Anti -Social” increase in pensions premiums since 1 July 2025 and does not extend their attraction, the necessary interest in the necessary interest in these areas of health care, the necessary measures of the necessary measures of the necessary measures of the health care).
Two million pay four billion
Korosec specifically demands two central points: structural reforms in the ÖGK, instead of further burdens for the elderly and participation and co-determination rights for seniors in the management organizations of the ÖGK. Conclusion: “No renovation at the expense of pensioners. More than two million people affected. In the future, they will pay four billion in health insurance contributions annually.”
At the same time, frustration for long waiting times for activities or restrictions on services such as mobile care or rehabilitation measures are increasing. Korosec: “If you pay more, you should also get more strength – and nothing less.”
