- Léon Deffontaines, head of the communist list of the United Left for the European elections, was the guest of La Grande interview Europe 1-CNews. At the microphone of Sonia Mabrouk, the young communist returned to the government's proposal to apply a "rabbit tax" to patients who do not honor their medical appointments. One more “punishment” for him. 

Not showing up for a medical appointment will no longer be without consequences. The government would like to introduce a rabbit tax for patients who do not respect their commitments. With the latter, each person who does not honor their appointment will have to pay 5 euros to the injured health professional. A small sum, but which should make it possible to make the French responsible and free up time slots, while France is experiencing major shortages of staff in community medicine. 

Questioned this Monday on the subject on the set of La Grande interview d'Europe 1-CNews, the head of the list of the left united with the Europeans Léon Deffontaines would like "above all to make the government's role responsible for the decline in access to care in our society". 

"It's always the same thing, it's the punishment. There is unemployment, we attack the unemployed. There are problems with access to care, we attack the patients", regrets - he, however, assuring the usefulness of making patients more responsible for showing up for their appointments.
