According to a report by the organization that franceinfo was able to consult on Thursday June 29, Health Insurance plans to reduce its deficit by 14 billion euros next year. The Social Security hole should therefore shrink in 2024 following having been dug for three years by the explosion of expenditure linked to the Covid-19 crisis. As a result, the Medicare deficit would be no more than 7 billion euros according to the conclusions of this report.

To reduce its deficit, Health Insurance is counting first on the good employment situation in France, which is likely to bring in more contributions and therefore more revenue next year; on the other hand, it counts on savings. To achieve this, it will amplify the fight once morest fraud by controlling more employees who benefit from a sick leave of convenience, but also by flushing out hearing aid scams which are on the rise.
Health insurance also wants to put an end to the diversion of the use of drugs like these antidiabetics touted by influencers on social networks to lose weight. She plans to no longer reimburse so-called reconstructive surgeries when they actually hide cosmetic surgery.
This report also provides savings on drugs with the desire to prescribe less to the elderly who do not necessarily need seven boxes of drugs per month, as is the case on average today. Health insurance wants to further encourage the use of biosimilar drugs, these generic biomedicines that are less expensive. Social Security wants to encourage patients to share ambulances.
