The first attempt to adopt the 2025 overall budgetary objective of the compulsory health insurance failed in October 2024 when outgoing government representatives refused to approve the proposal to avoid interfering with the formation of the new federal government. The budget was not passed until February 2025, after the new government was formed. On 28 February 2025, the Council of Ministers adopted the 2025 budget, totalling over €45.22 billion. Corrective measures amounting to over €216 million were planned to prevent actual expenditure from exceeding the the overall budgetary objective. For example, about €73 million are to be saved by eliminating the reimbursement of physicians for teleconsultation by phone and reducing some specific fees, while about €113 million are to be saved in pharmaceutical spending.
