Ihe bill 1175 aimed at “improve access to care through the territorial commitment of professionals”carried by deputy Frédéric Valletoux (Horizons) and supported by the presidential majority (Renaissance), will be presented during the week of June 12 at the National Assembly, according Egora.fra professional information site.

This law aims in particular to to “empower” health professionals in the application of policies of general interest, such as the permanence of care, prevention and the balance of the territorial care offer. It will deal the administrative coup de grace to liberal medicine.

Then, the professional territorial health communities (CPTS): associations financed on objectives by the Health Insurance, exclusively devoted to coordination: not a penny for the care!

Worse still, Article 1 endorses the concept of “collective responsibility”. Caregivers will therefore be “responsible” the state of health of the population, the permanence and continuity of care, and the distribution of the supply of care in the territory.
