On Tuesday, November 7, the Senate adopted the revocation of state health assistance (AME), intended for undocumented immigrants, in favor of a “Emergency medical assistance » as part of the examination of the immigration bill. This reform was introduced by an amendment to the senatorial law, which the government did not oppose. The National Assembly, which will in turn examine the text starting from 11 December, still has the possibility to revoke this amendment.
“Nonsense”
For the Minister of Health Professions, Agnès Firmin Le Bodo, “Mixing debates on AME and immigration control is nonsense.” This reform “he has nothing to do” in the Immigration Act, which is why the government would choose to pave the way for the withdrawal of this amendment by the National Assembly, according to the minister. The latter guarantees it “The government is very close to the AME “, A “public health system”, whose usefulness was particularly defended by Elisabeth Borne.
Despite everything, the government relied ” wisdom ” senators on this reform proposal. Requested for some time by the right, it was voted with 200 votes in favor and 136 against.
As told the Express, “The adoption of the article abolishing the AME provoked a strong reaction from left-wing parliamentarians. The doctor and environmentalist senator Bernard Jomier (related to the PS) deplored ON (formerly Twitter) “a health, moral and economic fault”. Socialist senator Corinne Narassiguin associated the government’s advice with “complicit silence”.
Reduce the range of treatments
If the reform becomes effective, emergency healthcare will replace AME. This would considerably limit the number of beneficiaries and the range of care provided, as shown FranceInfo : She ” it would be “refocused” on the management of “serious diseases and acute pain”, as well as on prophylaxis, according to the adopted article, reducing the basket of treatments currently granted to around 400,000 beneficiaries. The measure must also allow pregnancy-related treatments, vaccinations and preventive medicine tests. »
We therefore hope that the reform desired by LR (and which Gérald Darmanin says he is in favor of) will be successfully rejected by the National Assembly next December.
