The strategic direction was defined, as the President of the Federal house group, Roger Nordmann (47, VD) to be confirmed.
health insurance premiums plafonieren
the focal point is the support of the purchasing power. First, the SP wants to plafonieren the health insurance premiums. Thus, the high cost of the crisis is not hitting directly on the Budgets of households.
“We don’t know yet how stable the economy will be in the autumn,” says Nordmann. The more important is the support of consumption is: “In this Situation, exploding would be the end of premiums devastating.” The Federal government had to cover the year’s costs in the healthcare sector in full.
In a further step, the social democratic party wants to bring a national investment program. Four areas are in focus.
Increased building renovations and Expansion of renewable energy: “As we are,” says Nordmann’s talk, “simple, quickly implementable projects.”Expansion of the digital infrastructure.

it is Clear for the SP, where the funding should come from: the state budget and interest level to decide on a debt without further notice. As a Supplement to a tax on very high wealth is a possibility. Thus, the SP registers in your design will for the years after the Virus. But: “A debate on the medical response to the pandemic will not be with us,” says Nordmann.
the Federal Council and the administration did a good Job. The discussion about an end to the emergency measures is at best confusing. In the worst case, however, the dangerous time – when the country think too early Corona was over. Nordmann: “If we do not comply with the measures, we run directly into a second wave of diseases. That would be a disaster.”
