Overview
- Health minister Stéphanie Rist filed an amendment raising the ONDAM health-spending target from 2% to 3%, calling it an equilibrage reflecting the decision not to increase medical franchises in 2026.
- The ecologist group signaled the amendment would weigh in their decision, with Yannick Jadot urging at least abstention ahead of Tuesday’s decisive vote at the Assemblée nationale.
- The government reiterated that failure to pass the PLFSS could widen the social-security deficit to around €30 billion in 2026, compared with €23 billion in 2025.
- The budget retains a €1 billion tax on complementary health insurers, which mutuals’ leaders criticized as likely to be passed on to members.
- A separate provision empowering the director of Assurance maladie to set certain medical tariffs without standard negotiations has drawn strong opposition from medical unions.
