Marisol Touraine’s health bill, unveiled last June, was presented to ministers today before being voted on in Parliament to definitively adopt the various measures proposed.
The emphasis is clearly placed on the protection of the younger generations: fight against addictions (tobacco, drugs), prevention of alcoholism, provision of emergency contraception to underage girls, health promotion in schools …
Equal access to healthcare also plays an important role in this bill, in particular thanks to the generalization of third-party payment and the advance of doctor’s fees.
