Everyone should eat what he wants without being "punished" financially. I am aware that possible health costs are also borne by the general public, but this is also the case with sports injuries, for example.

Comment
Demographic change is a challenge. However, I think that higher pension contributions for employers and recipients is the better solution. In particular, the cemented conversion rate does not achieve its goal. Existing pensioners should also be part of the solution.
Der demographische Wandel ist eine Herausforderung. Ich denke aber, dass höhere Rentenabgaben für Arbeitgeber- und Nehmer die bessere Lösung ist. Insbesondere ist der zementierte Umwandlungssatz nicht zielführend. Auch bestehende Rentner sollen ein Teil der Lösung sein.
