Health Insurance Reforms in Germany
Germany's health system faces €14 billion deficit by 2027.
State insurers spend €1 billion daily, with expenses outpacing contributions.
Plan includes raising tobacco/spirits taxes, tiered sugar-sweetened drink levy, and scrapping spousal insurance for 1.77 million.
Federal Health Minister Nina Warken supports the plan.
Bavarian Premier Markus Söder opposes spousal insurance changes.
