Welcome 
Is it legal, you referring to? then is yes. I tried to search English websites for you to read at few minutes ago but I only found German website. I will be glad to provide German website for you if you want to see it.
Begin of 1883 - Healthcare insurance, then 1884 Accident insurance and also accident insurance protection for workers/employees and then social insurance system for workers/employee - legal work protection 1912, then later unemployement insurance - 1927, then nursing care insurance 1994.
Of course the legal of social insurance system remains unchange but they can change and improve for add or cut in social system.

It wasn't referring to retirement pensions. It was referring to medical costs only. As the population ages, medical costs will increase but there will be fewer working tax payers to support the costs.

Check the link, I provided and explain the difference between social insurance system and tax system in my previous post.
Healthcare insurance will be increase in begin of January 2009 due population ages. They paid part of their pension money for social insurances for years but the people from government do not feel that it´s not right for the pensioners to pay out of their pension money that´s why they change and increase our healthcare insurance that they should not pay out of their pension money for social insurances but we from January 2009.

The demographics for Germany show that there aren't enough German babies being born to replace the older workers who retire. Because there aren't enough native Germans for the work force, the employers are hiring more foreign workers. Foreign worker families produce more children than native German families. That changes the demographics.

Yes I know German babies rate were low until parental allowance was first introduce in January 2007 then German babies increased fast.
About hiring foregin workers - Unfortunlately, German employers use them as cheap labor...
I really don´t care how high or low Foreign and German babies rates are but they are only human being like us. As long as they obey German law then is good.
