German health insurance reform threatens access to psychotherapy

Germany's statutory health insurance (GKV) reform introduces fixed budgets for psychotherapists, risking longer waiting times for patients with mental illness — already the leading cause of sick leave. Green MP and physician Paula Piechotta criticises the cuts, arguing savings should come from rising pharmaceutical costs instead. The podcast also covers Andy Burnham becoming UK Prime Minister and his approach to domestic policy and relations with Donald Trump.
