Dear governments, dear countries, that was not enough.

The article critiques Austria’s recent state reform, particularly focusing on health and education policies. It argues that the reform, presented as a major achievement, lacks substantive changes and merely introduces new terminology without meaningful action. The author compares the reform to a football coach’s statement after a draw, suggesting that the government should acknowledge the need for further improvement. In healthcare, the reform shifts from 'financing from one hand' to 'financing from a common hand,' which the author interprets as creating another funding pool rather than addressing core issues. In education, the proposal to reduce class sizes by 2035 is seen as overly ambitious. The article also notes that while some progress was made in resolving conflicts, the overall outcome remains insufficient and unconvincing.
