To curb social spending, Prime Minister François Bayrou announced a doubling, at 100 euros, of the ceiling on medical deductibles and targeted the treatment of patients with long-term illness.
To save 5.5 billion euros, the Prime Minister wants to tighten the rules on long-term illnesses and increase the deductibles on medicines to 100 euros per year.
To reduce spending on health insurance, the Prime Minister announced two measures this Tuesday, July 15th: doubling the deductible on drug spending and revising the long-term illness system.
In a much-awaited speech on Tuesday, July 15, François Bayrou said he would double the annual deductible on drug refunds as part of a project to significantly reduce annual social spending.
The EUR 5 billion on health expenditure to be found will go through a reform of the long-term illness regime (LTD), medical deductible and work stoppages.
Among the avenues put forward by François Bayrou on Tuesday 15 July during his presentation of the plan for the recovery of public finances are the management of long-term illnesses, or the "end of the drift" of disease cessations.
