Question 17931 — maternity health insurance

Summary

Mrs. Sylvie Ferrer questions the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Disabled People about this umpteenth coup by decrees aimed at reducing reimbursements for medicines, dental care and medical transport even before the parliamentary debate on the social security budget at the start of the school year. The insured are used to forceful attacks, here is another, taken during the summer holidays; four Decrees were published on August 22, 2026 modifying the distribution of financing between health insurance and complementary organizations. The ministry took the decision, for several medical procedures, to increase the co-payment, an amount not reimbursed by health insurance and transferred to mutual insurance companies, suggesting future increases in their prices. Thus, one of the decrees increases the participation of policyholders for several product categories. For drugs whose actual benefit is moderate, the contribution increases from “70-75% to 85-95%”. From January 1, 2027, consultations with the dentist and routine dental care will only be reimbursed at 50% of the social security reimbursement base, compared to 60% currently. These decrees also provide for a 5% reduction in the coverage for travel by ambulance or approved taxi. At the same time, the Government is leaving plans to raise the annual ceiling for medical deductibles with a maximum threshold for these contributions raised to 140 euros instead of 100 today. The Government also intended to renew the tax (although announced as “exceptional”) on members of supplementary health insurance organizations (OCAM). France Assos santé, the main federation of patient associations, explains through the voice of its president that “these measures will in no way improve access to care, its relevance or its quality, but on the contrary, they will weaken the sickest and lead to even more renunciation of care”. Some unions in the health sector condemn “an unprecedented weakening of our solidarity model” even as it celebrates its 80th anniversary This year. The MP denounces these dereimbursements which will weigh on patients. She therefore asks him to abandon them by regulation even before the start of the examination of the social security financing bill and wishes to know his intentions on this subject.
