German Cabinet Approves Care Reform After SPD Blockade Threat

While the reform's passage through parliament remains uncertain, its approval signals progress in resolving a key fiscal and political dispute within the coalition. Specifics of the reform, including adjustments to contribution rates or benefits, are not yet fully clear.
