Count child-rearing years toward pensioners' health coverage
The AfD wants child-rearing periods to count toward the prior insurance time required to stay in statutory health insurance in retirement. Parents, especially mothers, would then not have to switch to more expensive private coverage. Training is also meant to ease mothers' return to their former jobs.
Some mothers do not work for years because they raise children. As retirees they often must switch to costly private health insurance. The AfD wants to change that. Time spent raising children should count.
