Re Amendments of the Code of Social Security and Health

France Constitutional Council
89-269 DC of 22 January 1990 (1990)

KS

Facts

In the 1980s, the French legislature drafted a series of amendments to statutes related to social security and healthcare. The amendments included a change to the reimbursements made to specialist physicians and reimbursements made to general practitioners by creating differentiated schedules that treated specialist physicians differently than general practitioners. Members of the legislature (plaintiff) referred the social-security and healthcare amendments, including those provisions that created separate reimbursement regimes for specialist physicians and general practitioners, to the France Constitutional Council. The constitutional council considered many aspects of the amendments, including that the differentiated reimbursement programs violated Article 11 of the French constitution, which guarantees the protection of health, material security, rest, and leisure.
