Parliamentary debates on the revenue side of the 2025 budget were suspended after six days, with 1,507 amendments still pending. The government plans to resume discussions on November 5, while Health Minister Darrieussecq supports a sugar tax to save nearly five billion euros in healthcare. Meanwhile, the public deficit is projected to exceed initial forecasts, potentially reaching 6.2% in 2024.
Health Minister Geneviève Darrieussecq supports a sugar tax on processed foods to help prevent chronic diseases and reduce healthcare costs, as the French parliament debates the Social Security budget. The Social Affairs Commission has also proposed taxes on sweetened beers and a reduction in medical consultation reimbursements from 70% to 60%, which could raise healthcare expenses for the public. Darrieussecq emphasizes the need for responsible actions from supplementary insurers to mitigate premium increases.
