Twitter, blogosphere, websites. A wind of rebellion is blowing on the web. Its target: compulsory affiliation to French social security, and the strengthening of penalties for offenders.
Leave Social Security. Such action or inducement will be more severely punished by law. On October 23, the National Assembly voted, as part of the Social Security Financing Bill (PLFSS 2015), an amendment that toughens the sanctions against people who disaffiliate from a security regime. social. A vote that arouses indignation among those who describe themselves as “the liberated from the Social Security. “
An “authoritarian” and dysfunctional system
The amendment voted by the French deputies provides for two types of sanctions. On the one hand, 6 months of imprisonment and a fine of 15,000 euros against those who disaffiliate from a social security system. On the other hand, 2 years in prison with a fine of 30,000 euros against those who encourage them to leave this regime. Indeed, the Social Security Code is clear: it is compulsory to join a social security organization. In France, there are three legal regimes, depending on the statute: the Mutuelle Sociale Agricole (MSA), the general social security regime (the CNAMTS), and the Social Regime for Independents (RSI). The tightening of sanctions against offenders is intended above all to be “dissuasive” according to the deputies who signed the amendment, who note the growing number of “released from the Social Security. “
Self-employed workers are the most numerous to leave Social Security. And for good reason: they must integrate the social regime for the self-employed (RSI), and do not have the same rights. For example, the elimination period for illness is longer. Many are those who protest against this “authoritarian regime”, evoke a “fiscal overflow” and criticize the many dysfunctions. This last argument is moreover supported by the Court of Auditors which concluded that “the RSI is today less effective and more expensive than the old regimes which it replaced. “
An active blogosphere
On the Internet, voices are being released against compulsory membership and particularly against RSI. Movement ” Social freedom »Denounces an excessively heavy tax burden which stifles investment, development and economic recovery… and does not guarantee good health benefits, since additional insurance is necessary.
the Movement for the Freedom of Social Protection (MLPS), he advocates for “free competition” in this area. “All social security funds are mutuals”, we can read on this site. An assertion confirmed by the Limoges Court of Appeal, but contested by the RSI.
The “liberated from the security” also stormed the blogosphere. One of them, who describes himself as a liberal, chronicles his struggle for ” get out of the social security monopoly “, Recounting his correspondence with the RSI, visits by bailiffs … Another freed, Jacques Clouteau even describes himself as” a future convict “in an open letter to his deputy, Dominique Orliac (Lot).
# IQuitteLaSecuParceQue
Same observation on social networks: the fight is active to impose freedom of choice, enshrined in law. On Facebook, some groups explain how to disaffiliate themselves, exchange information… As for Twitter, it hosts a lively debate. Hashtags make it possible to find the most active activists, some of whom do not hesitate to make fun of the slogans of the Health Insurance.

@PenelopeB You don’t know the joys of RSI. Seizure by a bailiff for 2000 € due, the following month 4000 € reimbursed for overpayment.

In any case, the #RSI is more responsive to dispatching a bailiff than dealing with your daily worries. Leave them. #SocialLiberte
