Berlin The head of the Association of Private Health Insurance (PKV) has sharply criticized Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach (SPD) for his spending policy. “It can’t go on as it is now,” Thomas Brahm told the Handelsblatt. “Minister Lauterbach is financially driving the healthcare system to the wall.”
