We must act. Quickly. This is in essence the message from parliamentarians in Berne in the face of the crisis suffered by medical emergency centers. For elected officials, the problem raised by the two judgments of the Federal Court (TF), which now prohibit the invoicing of emergency taxes, is multiple: administrative, legal and political. Interventions at several levels, concerted or even concomitant, could help avoid the worst. Or the bankruptcy of medical emergency centers and the gradual disappearance of this urgent care outside hospitals.

Contacted, several members of the National and State health commissions expressed their emotions following the revelations of the Temps and present the different possible levers to reduce the pressure. For them, the first action to be undertaken concerns them little: the pricing partners, health insurance companies and doctors in the lead, must meet urgently to find a solution.
