Surprise surprise. Catherine Vautrin returns to health. Another unprecedented phenomenon, since in the same year 2024, this traditional right-wing politician was appointed Minister of Health in January by the Attal government, then after the dissolution, she did not leave the ship and became Minister of Territories, before taking up her morocco as Minister of Health, as a Christmas present, appointed by François Bayrou, Prime Minister. Poisoned gift?
Indeed, the health sector has been particularly in crisis since the Covid years, the public hospital is suffering, general practitioners are coughing, patients are choking in the face of the announced dereimbursement of care, the increase in the price of consultations and the drop announced reimbursement rate, the lack of specialists and this medical desert which is spreading to large metropolises.
In addition, its ministry has been further expanded, since it takes into account health, but also work, solidarity and families. We will remember that in 2013, she was against the “marriage for all” bill, but this is only a detail of History today, as the issues before her are numerous. She already has the merit of knowing the files, so we can consider that this gives her a certain advance. It's the end of a minister solely dedicated to health from now on, so for support, Catherine Vautrin has appointed Yannick Neuder as minister responsible for health and access to care. Unknown to the general public, this cardiologist, Les Républicains MP from Isère, was rapporteur for the Social Security budget debates, whose vote was censored.

Choices will have to be made
He also knows the files, which is an advantage in all this chaos. What choices will he propose to his supervisory minister: the inevitable savings measures in the face of increasing difficulties in accessing care will be a dilemma to answer in 2025. What about the end-of-life law? What about the social security budget, what future for State Medical Aid?
