“It is a subject of public health and safety, I am not for its deletion, I have already expressed myself widely on the subject. Its modification can be done at the margins, as recommended in the report by Messrs. Evin and Stéfanini , there are a few lines that we can move but that will not change the framework of the AME”estimates Geneviève Darrieussecq, Minister of Health and Access to Care, on the subject of State Medical Aid which her colleague from the Interior wishes to replace with emergency medical aid with drastically reduced contours.
Its envelope, which was initially expected to increase (from 1.2 to 1.3 billion euros) in the next budget, will ultimately remain at the current stage, the government having confirmed on Tuesday a freezing of credits devoted to this aid. A response to the National Rally protests? No, according to Geneviève Darrieussecq. “Jordan Bardella is using the AME as a scarecrow. These symbols put in front of the French are completely harmful. The AME is the most controlled, the most secure budget of the State,” she replies. “There is no question of there being an AME subject in the immigration law”she says.

“Let Doliprane be produced in France”
Regarding the possible transfer of the manufacturing of Doliprane to an American pension fund by Sanofi, the Minister of Health indicates that she has three demands: “That Doliprane is produced in France, a guarantee of normal supply and stocks in order to avoid shortages in critical periods.” Drug shortages “are a reality”she said, “but not a Franco-French subject”. “An action plan to implement stocks” on certain products has been put in place, she says.
Despite the nearly 5 billion euros in savings on Health Insurance expenditure in the next budget, Minister Geneviève Darrieussecq refutes the idea of putting Social Security on a dry diet. “The Health Insurance spending target is above all 9 billion more for 2025, a target which continues to increase, it is more 63 billion compared to 2019, 9 billion compared to this year. “
