Question 14032 — maternity health insurance

Summary

Mr. Éric Bothorel draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Persons with Disabilities to the absence of decrees for the law aimed at the full coverage of care linked to the treatment of breast cancer by health insurance promulgated on February 5, 2025. The initiative belonged to Fabien Roussel of the Democratic and Republican Left group, but all parliamentarians, in the Senate as well as in the Assembly, supported this major advance. 100% coverage by health insurance is a major step forward. It currently concerns dermopigmentation procedures, underwear suitable for wearing removable breast prostheses and the renewal of breast prostheses. The law also provides for a package financing non-refundable care and arrangements specific to the treatment of breast cancer and its consequences, on medical prescription. Since February 5, 2025, more than 50,000 new women have learned of their cancer, if we base ourselves on the figures for 2024. There are also some 913,000 people living with active or surveillance breast cancer in France. And this law, as too often, awaits its implementing decrees. More than ten months and women who believed, heard these announcements, these advances, discover that there is, in fact, nothing. A few weeks ago, Nolwenn and Virginie, two citizens from his constituency, came to meet the MP at his office to share what cancer had profoundly changed in their lives, as well as the obstacles encountered in their support. Their testimonies brought to light a reality that is still too little visible, which is how the MP decided to organize a round table dedicated to the situation of people in remission from cancer. These delays can also impact the out-of-pocket costs which are taken into account, or not, by mutual insurance companies. When will these decrees be published? Is it really essential to wait for opinions from the High Authority for Health (HAS), the National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM) and the National Agency for Food Safety, environment and work (ANSES), particularly consulted in this context? The fight against cancer is a race against time. He asks him if we can hope that decrees are not always a matter of time.
