Gradual decrease in commercial reimbursements
The controversial decree has been CAPS, since September 1, the discounts granted by laboratories at 30% of the price of the generic price, against 40% currently. Other successive drops are scheduled to reach 20% in 2027.
Pharmaceutical unions have carried out a series of protest actions (agricultural closures, the guards hit …) From the beginning of summer to protest against the fall of discounts, which have been an important element of their remuneration, one third of their margin according to them.
Maybe September 18 can be raised?
