The National Assembly began on October 26 review of the draft law on financing of Social Security (PLFSS) for 2011.
To reduce the deficit to 21.4 billion euros, the project proposes strict control of health spending , a recovery of the debt by the Sinking Fund for debt reduction and social social niches (cf. LC No. 1323).
To achieve this, a commission chaired by Jacques Attali has made 27 proposals in a report to parliament on October 15. Among the proposals the most "unfair" retained in the PLFSS , is expected to seek "financial participation of patients in long-term illness-ALD" (cancer, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis ...) being taken 100% paid by Social Security without means. The project foresees the establishment of a fixed reimbursement for diabetes self-testing devices for some patients and the end of the integration systematic management of transportation expenditures for the latter. A delisting of drugs from 35% to 30% is also recommended.
The Attali report went further by advocating that the PLFSS to freeze certain social benefits and to means-tested family allowances. A hypothesis that Secretary of State for Family, fortunately squelched in the name of "family policy".
Another pleasant surprise: the proposed amendment in the Committee on Social Affairs on the basic allowance of home delivery of the young child (Paje) for a payment on the day of birth - and not from the month following the initial PLFSS as expected. An examination of the text is still in its infancy ... we must therefore expect further developments.
