[HIGHLIGHTS] From March 31, one euro not reimbursed on boxes of medicine

From March 31, one euro not reimbursed on boxes of medicine. The franchise on medical transport also doubled.

The "flat rate contribution" on consultations and medical procedures is also doubled, to 2 euros. This measure comes into force on Sunday, according to another decree published on Saturday in the OJ. “Making people who are sick pay double is not how we make people responsible. We make them feel guilty,” Gérard Raymond, president of France Assos Santé, told AFP.
