Question 11270 — maternity health insurance

Summary

Ms. Claire Marais-Beuil alerts the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the decree removing the exemption from reimbursement for medicinal products with a reduced medical benefit for people with long-term illnesses. The principle of national solidarity dictates that a serious chronic illness should not be a financial burden for the patient. Reduce the drug reimbursement rate to 15% currently covered at 100% is a measure that affects equality of access to care, therapeutic renunciations and degrades the quality of life of patients since there are disparities in income and additional coverage. In July 2024, No. 54 of Points of reference estimates the number of people with long-term illness at 13.8 million. In June 2024, a joint report from the General Inspectorate of Social Affairs (IGAS) and the General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF) estimate the savings that would be made by this measure at 90 million euros. The decree therefore does not propose significant savings given the number of patients concerned. Paradoxically, this decree would cause additional expenses related to the treatment of pain for certain conditions. Consequently, the MP requests the suspension of this decree in order to initiate consultations which had not taken place with health professionals, patient associations, user representatives and national representation. She wants to know his intentions on this matter.
