Well, a little simplistic ...
Today, the overall cost continues to increase each year. Contributions stagnate ("too many charges"!), Or even regress (layoffs) ...
So mechanical deficit.
We are cutting back at both ends: a) limit certain costs (generics, rationalization / closures of hospital beds, "pro-cutivist" pressures on staff; elsewhere, the service is deteriorating: take a trip to the Emergency Department!); elsewhere, we limit the care - if, if, it already exists b) as politically it is inconceivable to increase the charges, we reduce the support and we transfer to mutuals (which is only a disguised form privatization; too bad for those who do not have one ...
Not so simplistic I think, since the unacknowledged goal is that health becomes more and more a profitable business.
Of course there are more and more high costs for cancer patients, for triple therapies, .... but we persist in doing a curative medicine based on chemistry rather than a preventive medicine or healing based on natural methods. Why is osteopathy only partially recognized? What about posturology? What about magnetism? and treatment with plants? herbalists were decimated by decree, there were many at the beginning of the 20th century.
Why ? Look at the side of chemists, pharmaceutical companies. They were able to lobby effectively, we still see it today with vaccines. The best is that they are undoubtedly at the origin of the epidemic of influenza A and perhaps even AIDS, which allows them to offer their vaccines, masks, etc. A real boon to revive an economy which, anyway, lives only on credit.
When each of us becomes aware of this, maybe things will change in the right direction.
