Employment is good, social contributions too, and universal social protection is in balance. However, this is not the case for the health insurance of the employees’ scheme, which has a deficit of 4 billion francs. A gap that the government is working to fill with an exceptional contribution system of 1%, calling only on the employer contribution. The measure takes effect over one year and has no impact on the cost of labor and the remuneration of employees, as specified by the interministerial delegate in charge of generalized social protection, Pierre Frébault.
« (The measure) will bring in 2.5 billion francs. It is only paid by employers and not by employees, explains the latter. In return, employers will see a reduction in their contribution to family benefits. » . Contributions for work accidents are also falling. The measure, intended to limit damage to the health sector, should therefore not save that of family allowances. The executive is playing for time while waiting for the long-awaited reform of Generalized Social Protection (PSG), work on which will be relaunched next year, according to Minister of Health Cédric Mercadal.
« We will plan all the monthly and thematic work with the partners, which will take place for the reform in 2024he assures, as announced by Moetai Brotherson. We are going to talk about health insurance and long-term illness, financing of establishments, controls » .
The exceptional contributions will not be enough to compensate for the abolition of social VAT and the shortfall of around 9 billion francs. In its 2024 budget orientation report, the government also announced new measures intended to bring in 3 billion francs, including 1.5 billion in the form of a new tax in the form of a solidarity contribution from high incomes.
