Health bill: doctors demand the withdrawal of the text

Marisol Touraine would be ready to make concessions on the subject of the Health Bill against which all the doctors are standing wind. But while the text will come under discussion in Parliament next January, the doctors’ unions are still not satisfied with this opening of the minister. They therefore still call for a cabinet strike between December 24-31. And on the eve of new meetings with the office of the Minister of Health, some trade unionists have decided to step up the pressure.

For pure and simple text indentation (SML)
“We must under no circumstances give in to siren songs and maintain our call for the closure of our practices,” wrote Dr. Roger Rua, president of the Syndicate of Liberal Doctors (SML) in a tweet posted on Monday. For him, “only a strong mobilization of liberal health professionals will make it possible to obtain the rewriting of the Health bill. “

But before this mobilization planned for Christmas, the SML demands the outright withdrawal of the text before any discussion with the Minister of Health. A request which he hopes will soon be unanimous. “Convinced of the need to show the greatest firmness so that this liberticidal project is overhauled, the SML therefore recalls that trade union unity against this text must not be cracked by the fact of simple meetings at the ministry”, writes the union. And the latter to add that he will continue “to defend the liberal practice of medicine and refuses any modification of a text which contains the seeds of the establishment of a state care offer.” “

5,000 electronic signatures in 1 month
Finally, to prove that this movement of doctors is supported by the French, the SML had launched on its site a petition “for a liberal offer of proximity”. Contacted by the editorial staff of why actor, Dr. Roger Rua confides that in one month, the petition has already collected 5,000 electronic signatures. “We also obtained many paper signatures during consultations in offices,” he concludes.
