May’s wrath has not fallen, far from her. The taxis will return to the front to oppose the new rules of health transport decided by the Government and Health Insurance, and promulgated a few days ago in the official magazine. “We are taken by the fools. The system that is implemented is not viable. These new prices, this is approximately 40% less remuneration. For 30,000 taxis, it means that the cessation of activity or layoffs,” is alarmed with the ParisianDominique Buisson, secretary of the National Taxi Federation (FNDT).
Therefore, new actions are planned at the beginning of the school year, including an important event in Paris on the fields of the fields on September 5 or 6. A meeting between Union will take place this Wednesday to decide the continuation of the movement. “It will rise in power. And if we have to block the country, we will block it,” the artisan told our colleagues. The sector is still against the new health transport rules aimed at saving 150 million euros and avoiding abuse.
The issue of vacuum feedback
These taxi routes for hospitals or medical offices represent approximately half of the 6.7 billion euros in health transport in 2024, according to the Ministry of Health. An amount of 45% since 2019. “We must not harm what is access to the care of the French. Therefore, we must work in the organization of flows with taxis, make sure we are doing everything possible to reduce costs,” said the government spokeswoman Sophie Prima.
The reform establishes that the taxis will be paid on the basis of a care package and a kilometer price aligned in the prices established in each department.
In the remaining third, the National Health Insurance Fund wants to prevent taxis, expensive, through coordination with hospitals to group patients on nearby trips. But for taxis, the account is not in particular due to the elimination of the billing of the “vacuum statement”. The sector also opposes SEFI implementation, an online billing service associated with a geolocation system, to fight fraud.
