A stronger role for the private sector in France's health insurance?

Abstract

Social security in France funds the regular costs of medical goods and services up to a maximum of 75.7 per cent only, so there is a significant level of out‐of‐pocket expenses to the individual. Complementary cover can be obtained from a private insurer, but this cover gives rise to numerous inequalities in terms of both access and content. The health insurance reforms scheduled for 2004 may, however, allow private insurers to play a greater role in funding health costs, albeit at the cost of weakening national solidarity.
