How to translate the name of this Act into English? The problem is that the name of the Act does not say what it is about. A number of possibilities are on the web but they are long and the name in German is at least relatively brief. "Contributions Stability Act" is a possibility but it doesn't sound natural. What do others think? Comments welcome. Yorick
Here is the full text where the Act is named.
"Durch das Beitragssicherungsgesetz von 2002, das den gesetzlichen Krankenkassen erhöhte Rabatte auf Arzneimittel einräumt, konnten die Arzneimittelausgaben der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung (GKV) in den letzten Jahren gebremst werden"

Comment: "This explanation says what accurately it is-many thanks (have a vague feeling that there could be a snappier translation but cant come up with one myself-maybe all shorter versions would lose some of the meaning though.)"
