He will compete in constituency 299 and is particularly committed to improving health and care policy. Arndt, who works as a resident family doctor, on -call duty and an expert, criticized the political decisions that often pass the reality. Often new laws would be poorly implemented.

He advocates powerful, health care close to home and emphasizes the need for good working conditions for hospital and nursing staff.

election programs of the parties for the Bundestag election 2025

In preparation for the 2025 federal election, the designs of the election programs of the established parties have also arrived. The CDU/CSU is committed to a dual health system that includes both statutory and private health insurance. However, the election program includes few concrete measures and many keywords such as "improving needs" and finding "best possible care".
The support for a hospital reform is required by Health Minister Karl Lauterbach (SPD), but this is referred to as "cold structural change", which the CDU /CSU would like to counteract. In addition, they are committed to more efficiency when using contributions and increased competition between health insurance companies.

Another goal of the party is to reduce bureaucracy and to a stronger control through house and pediatric practices to shorten waiting times. Particular attention should be paid to the health of women, with improvements in prevention and simplifications in rehabilitation measures. The pharmaceutical and healthcare industry should develop into a "real leading economy", whereby talks with manufacturers and trade are sought.
In the election programs, the use of electronic patient files and digital health applications is also mentioned, always in the context of data protection. Active euthanasia is expressly rejected by the CDU/CSU.
