Presidential displacement on the theme of health

As the President of the Republic intends to start a new presidential cycle after the redesign done recently, it seems that his will be given a central place to the theme of health. Indeed, Nicolas Sarkozy will visit the Calvados, Wednesday 1st December 2010, to make a move related to the topic of medical outreach. In this sense, he will visit the “liberal and center ambulatory health” of Orbed. He will share with health professionals and elected officials involved, along with the state, in this project. Then he will chair a panel on local medicine in which the conditions for exercising trades health, the challenges posed by the medical population in rural areas and the requirement of access to care will be discussed including. In this regard, the Head of State will be joined by Xavier BERTRAND, Minister of Labor, Employment and Health, Nora BERRA, Secretary of State for Health and Elisabeth HUBERT, appointed by the President of the Republic on a mission of consultation on local medicine.

However, this move is a continuation presidential report released last week Hubert which recommends a more comprehensive social protection in France consisting especially in the involvement of health mutual in the conventional discussion. Furthermore, this attraction to medical issues also found meaning in the policy speech made ​​to the National Assembly by François Felon, in which he seems to have realized the need to openly ask the question of the role of mutual health in the context of social protection, opening the debate in a very frank, “compulsory or optional, collective or individual? “

Therefore, the significance of health in the government perspective is a reality for which it should be enthusiastic to the extent that the last PLFSS 2011 showed about him a certain austerity. But it is certainly due to the gradual withdrawal of the state in social protection through social security, the political class as a whole is aware of the need to consider the place of mutual health in the life of the French. It did become essential to involve the mutual health to global reasoning on social protection in France in that their role will grow even more each year. Therefore, the question arises on whether to run; the mutual health signed by a citizen will not be forced to intervene as additional principal and not in accordance with its primary fuel.
