Question 34949 — foreigners

Summary

Ms. Delphine Bagarry questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health on access to care for people covered by State medical aid (AME) and, in particular, on the consequences of articles 264 and 265 of Law No. 2019-1479 of December 28, 2019 on finances for 2020. During the parliamentary debates of November 7, 2020, before Parliament, the Government ensured that these legislative reforms explicitly targeted situations of distortion of access to care for people in an irregular situation, and not access to care for the most vulnerable people. Recognizing at the same time the inadequacies of the State in ensuring access to care for all, the Minister of Solidarity and Health committed, before the National Assembly, to combining these two articles with initiatives to correct these deficiencies, in particular by ensuring a better reception within the hotlines for access to health care (PASS). On the ground, associations note a situation that is the opposite of the objectives stated by the Government: non-recourse to rights is increasing sharply and stands at 49%; as access to community care becomes more complex, there is a shift towards the hospital which participates in the embolization of emergencies, which harms access to care for all. Furthermore, the dematerialization of requests for renewal of residence permits - which pushes thousands of people legally present on the territory into illegality each year - combined with additional restrictions concerning access to universal health protection - which cannot go beyond 6 months following the expiration of the insured persons' residence permits and asylum request certificates - has worsened the situation by switching thousands of policyholders to AME. Therefore, she asks him what the Government intends to do to respect the commitments made before Parliament in order to pursue a real policy to “move towards” access to rights for all and compensate for the serious deficiencies of the State in terms of access to care for the most fragile people who fall under the AME.
