Several ministers in the Barnier government, including Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau (LR), have positioned themselves for a transformation of the AME into “emergency medical aid”, with drastically reduced contours. “Returning to State Medical Aid does not combat illegal immigration, but constitutes a serious risk for public health”alerted Roselyne Bachelot, former Minister of Health from 2007 to 2010, on France Inter on Friday September 27.
Roselyne Bachelot and seven other former Ministers of Health signed an article in the newspaper on Thursday The World to alert “unacceptable health, human, social and economic consequences” what the removal of the AME would have. “We are not putting anyone on trial. We are recalling the things we know”assures Roselyne Bachelot who emphasizes that the signatories have “overcome” their “political differences to express a strong truth”.
“A patient who is treated in community medicine costs seven times less than a pathology which will have developed and which we will be obliged to treat in hospital”says the former minister. “And that risks putting our hospitals in difficulty. They don’t need that right now.”adds Roselyne Bachelot.
