The economic perspectives address the regulation of state fees within social services, emphasizing that these fees should not be determined solely by the cost principle, thereby ensuring the availability of the service. The financial effect of the socio-political amendments has been calculated as an additional expenditure of 1.7 million euros allocated to subsistence benefits, demonstrating a willingness to increase social spending from the state budget.

Economic viewpoints focus on ensuring the funding of services and budget clarity, noting that the service price (€6.10) is already accounted for in the special welfare budget. Emphasis is placed on the role of the Health Insurance Fund in taking over the payment obligation, which points to a preference for state budgetary discipline and clarity.

The speaker supports fiscal optimization and cost savings, emphasizing that the new model will reduce public expenditure. Cost optimization is achieved by delegating the responsibility for stock rotation and renewal to hospitals, which can then utilize the soon-to-expire medications in patient treatment.
