They are mobilizing once morest a project to reform the transport of patients to healthcare establishments. This activity called medical transport constitutes a major source of income for many taxi artisans. The Ministry of Health, in its 2024 Social Security financing bill, wishes to make one hundred million euros in savings per year, on a transport budget of 5.5 billion. To do this, he wants to set up a reservation system through platforms, to rationalize taxi travel, and strongly encourage them to transport several patients at the same time in their vehicle, under penalty of being less reimbursed. But for taxis, this obligation will not work.
