      B.-By derogation from sections L. 162-23-3 and L. 162-23-4 of the Social Security Code and not later than 1 March 2022, the hospitalization benefits referred to in 1° of Article L. 162-23-1 of the same code are borne by the mandatory health insurance plans on the basis of the rates referred to in Article L. 162-23-4 of that Code, under the conditions defined in Articles L. 162-23
      The transition coefficient referred to in the first paragraph of this B shall be calculated, for each institution, to take into account the consequences on the health insurance income of the institution of the financing modalities defined in articles L. 162-23-2, L. 162-23-3 and L. 162-23-4 of the social security code in relation to those pre-existing. The calculated coefficient takes effect from March 1, 2017 and applies until February 28, 2022 at the latest. The coefficient shall reach value 1 by March 1, 2022.
      Every year, health and social security ministers stop the regional average rate of convergence of the transition factors of health institutions.
      The State sets out the general rules for modulating the regional average rate of convergence between the establishments of the region. The average rate of convergence of the transition coefficients of establishments for which the value of the coefficient is less than 1 may exceed the regional average rate of convergence provided that the additional financial mass resulting from this exceedance is taken from establishments for which the value of the transition coefficient is greater than 1. This sampling results from the application of a convergence rate for these establishments higher than the regional average rate.
      The value of the transition coefficient of each institution is determined by the Director General of the Regional Health Agency and takes effect on the effective date of the service rates referred to in section L. 162-23-4 of the same code. The transition coefficient for each facility shall reach the value of 1 by 1 March 2022.

      The regional health agency shall, for each establishment, make the valuation of the activity by applying the rates of benefits set out in accordance with Article L. 162-23-4 of this Code under the conditions set out in B of this III and, on the other hand, of the consumption of the pharmaceutical specialties mentioned in the first paragraph of this C.

    The net liability (or "debt") of social security, measured by its negative equity, which represents the accumulated deficits remaining to be financed, amounted to €110.7 billion as of December 31, 2014, the equivalent of 5.2 points of GDP. After the sharp deterioration following the economic crisis of the 2008-2009s, this net liability for the first time in 2014 was a slight improvement, which essentially reflected the continued reduction of the deficits of the basic plans and the FSV (12.8 billion euros in 2014 compared to 16,0 billion euros in 2013 and 19,2 billion euros in 2012) and the amortization of the debt carried out by CADES (12,7 billion euros in 2014 compared to 12,4 billion euros in 2014).
    This improvement is particularly reflected in the observation, for the first time in 2014, of a positive consolidated result on the overall scope of social security outlined above, with a surplus of 1.4 billion euros compared to a deficit of 1.6 billion euros in 2013.
    The financing of the net social security liability is provided principally by a use of the loan, mainly carried by CADES and CAOSS. The net financial indebtedness of social security, which corresponds to the difference between the financial debts and the financial assets placed or held in cash, is therefore at a level close to it and follows the trends, corrected by the effects of the change in working capital related to the financing of the circulating assets and liabilities (creations and debts) and the acquisition of fixed assets, which also weigh on the cash. As a result of the increase in the need for working capital related particularly to debts on contributors issued in 2014, which has also remained stable, net financial indebtedness amounted to 121.3 billion euros as at 31 December 2014, a slight increase compared to the end of 2013.

    II. - Coverage of deficits and allocation of surpluses in fiscal year 2014


    The General Plan accounts were deficits of €9.7 billion in 2014. The Maladie branch has thus recorded a deficit of 6.5 billion euros, the Family branch a deficit of 2.7 billion euros and the Vieilles branch a deficit of 1.2 billion euros, the Industrial Accidents and Occupational Diseases branch having released a surplus of 0.7 billion euros. In addition, the VSP registered a deficit of 3.5 billion euros.
    Within the framework Organic Law No. 2010-1380 of 13 November 2010 on social debt management, Act No. 2010-1594 of 20 December 2010 Social Security Funding for 2011 organized the transfer to CADES of the 2011 deficits of the branches Disease and Family of the General Plan. It also provided for the gradual recovery, starting in 2012, of deficits 2011 to 2018 from the Old Age branch of the General Plan and the FSV, in the double limit of 10 billion euros each year and 62 billion euros in total. In accordance with the organic provisions, ACADES has been allocated resources to finance these sums. While the recovery of deficits in the Old Age and VSP sector remains a priority, given the margins made available by the various financial recovery measures taken by the 2014 pension reform, Act No. 2013-1203 of 23 December 2013 Social Security Funding for 2014 provided that the deficits of the 2012 to 2018 branches of Disease and Family could be integrated into the scope of the recovery, without altering the overall recovery ceilings or the forecasted debt amortization maturity transferred to the CADES. A total of €10 billion was recovered in 2014, corresponding to the transfer of the final deficits of the Vieillesse branch and the FSV for 2013 and to the financing of part of the deficit of the Maladie branch for 2012.
    The 2016 PLFSS changes the debt recovery schedule, always in compliance with the global ceiling. In fact, it is proposed to allow CADES to finance the entire balance of deficits to be recovered under the amended Social Security Financing Act in 2016. A total of 23.6 billion euros would thus be transferred to CADES in 2016, giving the latter the means to carry out in favourable terms a comprehensive strategy for the porting and affixing of the social debt that was transferred to it. This amendment will take advantage of the particularly favourable conditions of financing currently found in the markets and thereby pre-munify social security against the risk that a rise in long-term rates will degrade the conditions for financing deficits if transferred later.
    In addition, the surpluses of the Occupational Accidents and Diseases Branch for the 2014 fiscal year (0.6 billion euros) were allocated to the reduction of the deficits accumulated by this branch, thereby reducing the amount from 1.7 to 1 billion euros.
    Most of the basic regimes other than the general regime have, by construction, balanced annual results or very close to the balance. These are financially integrated regimes to the general regime (agricultural regime with the exception of the retired branch of the operators' regime, sick regimes of the military and the sailors), pension schemes balanced by state subsidies (SNCF, RATP, landmine and marine regimes), employer regimes (public function of the state), balanced by the latter, and finally the social regime of the independents whose deficits were covered by the 2014 contribution A financial integration mechanism with the branches Disease and Age of the General Regime replaced it as of 2015.
    However, several plans that do not benefit from such balancing mechanisms recorded deficit results in 2014. With regard to the retirement branch of the agricultural farmers' plan, whose deficits 2009 and 2010 had been recovered by CADES, the deficit was reduced to €0.2 billion (compared to €0.6 billion in 2013), bringing the accumulated deficits since 2011 to €2.8 billion. The Social Security Funding Act for 2015 provided that this deficit could be financed by cash-paid advances of the ACOSS in addition to the banking funds used so far by the Central Fund for Agricultural Social Mutuality (CCMSA) to cover these accumulated deficits. As of December 31, 2014, these deficits were funded in full by an advance from the ACOSS (€2.5 billion).
    The deficit of the mine regime amounted to 0.1 billion euros in 2014, bringing the cumulative amount of debt to 1 billion euros. In the context of a limitation of the financial competitions of the Caisse des dépôts et consignations, a historical financial partner of the Caisse autonome nationale de la sécurité sociale dans les mines, the Social Security Funding Act for 2014 extended the provisions of the Social Security Financing Act for 2013 to 2017 providing for the use of cash advances of the ACOSS up to 250 million euros, in addition to the external financing provided by the Funds
    Finally, the National Pension Fund for Local Government Officials (CNRACL) has, for the first time in five years, cleared a surplus of €0.4 billion (after a deficit of €0.1 billion in 2013). This surplus, which is mainly the result of the increase in rates of contribution in 2013 and 2014, was allocated to the plan's reserves, bringing the plan to 1.6 billion euros.

  • Annex


    Annex B
    REPORT ON THE PREVISIONS OF RECETTES AND THE OBJECTIVES OF EXPENDITURES OF BASIC EMERGENCY EQUIPMENTS AND THE GLOBALLY EQUIPMENT, REVISIONS AND DEPENSES OF BODIES CONCERNING THE FINANCING OF


    This annex describes the evolution of aggregates of expenditures, revenues and balances of the general regime, all mandatory basic social security regimes and the Old Age Solidarity Fund for the period 2016-2019. These forecasts are part of the goal of gradually returning to the balance of social security schemes. In 2019, the general plan is expected to reach a surplus of 1.8 billion euros, which would represent an improvement in the balance of more than 11 billion euros compared to the deficit in 2014.
    Despite an still uncertain international environment, the eurozone countries should experience economic acceleration. This favourable situation will contribute to the recovery of social security accounts, but it will also continue to work on spending control, including health insurance. In addition to spending control, this Act is marked by major reforms aimed at generalizing the universality of health coverage, developing access to complementary health and pursuing the policy in favour of business competitiveness and employment.


    I. - The Social Security Financing Bill for 2016 is part of the return path to the balance of social accounts
    1. A situation characterized by a gradual recovery of economic activity


    The revenue projections and spending targets identified under this Act are based on an assumption of gross domestic product growth of 1% in 2015. The private sector's payroll, which determines a major part of the evolution of social security revenues, would increase by +1.7% in 2015.
    For 2016, the activity would continue to accelerate, with an activity growth assumption of +1.5 per cent, which remains consistent with, among other things, the forecasts made public by the OECD at the time of the filing of the Social Security Financing Bill, which provided for an increase of 1.4 per cent in France in 2016. The hypothesis of the growth of the payroll associated with this growth forecast would thus reach 2.8% in 2016.
    This gradual recovery is based on an increase in household purchasing power, supported by reduced inflation in 2015 (+0.1%), notably due to low oil prices, and moderated in 2016 (+ 1%). In addition, the continuation of tax measures in favour of modest households and middle classes, through 2 billion euros of new tax cuts in 2016, will also help to support household purchasing power.
    In addition, the measures decided in the framework of the competitiveness and growth pact and the liability and solidarity pact (tax credit for competitiveness and employment, continued reduction of contributions, elimination of the exceptional contribution to corporate tax and elimination of the social contribution of solidarity of companies) will encourage the investment, employment and exports of companies. In the medium and long term, the growth of employment and payroll will promote the recovery of public finances. The path of return to the balance of public accounts, as exposed by the Government in the program of stability and growth and implemented in the Social Security Financing Bill, can thus be strengthened.
    In accordance with Organic Law No. 2012-1403 of 17 December 2012 The economic forecasts underlying the Social Security Financing Bill (as well as the Finance Bill) were the subject of an opinion of the High Council on Public Finance, assessing the sincerity of the assumptions adopted and their consistency with the multi-year trajectory adopted by the Financial Programming Act 2014-2019, updated by the latest European Stability and Growth Programme.


    2. Trend balances in improvement, with the notable exception of the Malay branch and the Old Age Solidarity Fund (FSV)


    The financial balances of the mandatory basic plans and the FSV, before taking into account the new measures set out in this Act, would have reached in 2016 - 13.8 billion euros, of which - 10.1 billion euros under the Maladie branch and - 1.2 billion euros under the Family branch, the Vieillesse branch with a surplus of 0.4 billion euros as well as the Accidents du travail and the Accidents du travail branch. The FSV would present a deficit balance of 3.7 billion euros.
    The increase in social security spending that underlies the results outlined above is reflected in the effects of the savings measures taken in previous years (Law of January 20, 2014 guaranteeing the future and justice of the pension system, savings measures on the Family branch of the social security financing laws for 2014 and 2015), which continue to be borne. The tendential evolution of spending on these branches is thus controlled, in view of the dynamics observed in the past. In addition, these branches, whose benefits are almost all indexed on prices, benefit from the effects of very low inflation.
    The tendancial evolution of health insurance expenditures is dynamic (+3.6% of expenditures in the field of the national health insurance expenditure target [ONDAM]), although it is in a slight deceleration compared to the recent period due to the rise in treatment of hepatitis C virus. The measures underpinning the construction of the NDAM as set out in this Act allow it to be strongly influenced.


    3. Debt that is reduced and whose financing conditions remain favourable


    In 2015, for the first time since 2002, the amount of accumulated debt carried by the Central Agency for Social Security Organizations (ACOSS) and the Social Debt Debt Fund (CADES) will begin to decrease, the debt amortized by CADES being equivalent to the annual deficit supported by ACOSS. In 2016, the reduction movement will accelerate as debt is expected to decrease by 3.7 billion euros.
    In addition to the improvement of the balance of social security plans in 2016, an advance debt recovery of EUR 23.6 billion is planned by CADES, instead of a three-fold annual recovery of EUR 10.10 and EUR 3.6 billion in the previous texts. This measure aims to benefit from particularly favourable current funding conditions. The refinancing rates for CADES were, for example, 2.1 per cent in mid-2015. This early recovery will allow coverage against the risk of rising average and long-term rates, which, if any, would lead the SAC to have to accept significantly less favourable long-term funding conditions.
    In addition, this debt recovery will help to limit the cumulative deficits of the branches by ACOSS, to the detriment of its primary mission to cover their cash requirements, in accordance with the preconizations of the Court of Auditors. In addition to the deficits of the National Old Age Insurance Fund for Employees (CNAVTS) and the VSP for the 2015 fiscal year, the balance of the deficit of the National Health Insurance Fund for Employees (CNAMTS) and the deficit of the National Family Allowance Fund (CNAF) for 2013, the deficit of CNAMTS and CNAF for 2014 and part of the deficit of the National Family Allowance Fund (CNAMTS) for 2013. The debt maturity horizon of CADES, planned in 2024, will not be changed.


    II. - The 2016 PLFSS reflects commitments under the stability program
    1. Continued control of health insurance expenditures with an ONDAM set at 1.75 %


    In the field of health insurance, the change in spending has been controlled through NDAM's compliance for five consecutive years. For 2015, in accordance with the commitments made under the Stability Program, credit cancellations totalling 425 million were made against the NDAM 2015 level voted in the previous funding law. These cancellations are expected to reduce the growth of the NDAM by + 2.1 per cent (in the Social Security Financing Act 2015) to + 2.0 per cent.
    For 2016, control over the evolution of health insurance expenditures results in the NDAM setting at 1.75 per cent. This rate involves an effort of savings of 3.4 billion euros compared to the tendential evolution of the expenditure, valued at + 3.6 per cent. This particularly ambitious trajectory involves increasing the effort of already engaged economies, without increasing the burden of the patient or degradeing the quality of care.
    This effort is part of the rise in the three-year savings plan that has been underpinning since 2015 the deployment of the national health strategy that will continue in 2017 (with the same objective of NDAM's progression). It articulates around four axes.
    The first focus is on strengthening the effectiveness of hospital spending. Mutualizations between institutions are encouraged and the strengthening of the hospital performance programme for responsible procurement will help to mobilize the still significant margins that remain in the area of hospital procurement optimization. Actions to control expenditures on drugs included in the above list will also be deployed in this framework. This will represent 0.7 billion euros in savings in 2016.
    The second axis is the ambulatory turn of hospitals. The goal is to optimise the path of hospital care, first of all by developing all forms of alternative care to complete hospitalization as soon as the patient's state of health allows it: the continued diffusion of ambulatory surgery but also the day hospitalization in medicine. The optimization of the course also involves the development of home hospitalization as long as it comes in substitution for stays in a health care institution and better accompaniment of patients out of the facility by ensuring adequate care in the city following the return to the home. These shares will provide €0.5 billion in 2016.
    The third focus is on health products. As every year, price reductions will be effected by the Economic Committee for Health Products, a decrease that must include the necessary financial margins for the remuneration of innovation and thus ensure the access of all to the latest therapies. The effort will also be made to develop the use of generic drugs for which our country is still lagging behind in relation to our neighbours. To this end, the National Plan for the Promotion of Generic Drugs, presented in March 2015, aims to increase the share of generic drugs by 5 points in total requirements. In particular, actions will be taken with the prescribers, whether in the city or in the hospital, as well as with the public, to which a communication campaign will be launched in early 2016. In total, this axis will contribute to €1.0 billion in savings to the NDAM 2016.
    The last axis, corresponding to a savings of 1.2 billion euros, aims to improve the relevance and good use of care in the city and hospital. It is a question of mobilizing all the margins of efficiency through the reduction of unnecessary or redundant acts and prescriptions: control of the prescription volume of medicines, the fight against iatrogeny, medical control actions among health professionals in the city carried out by health insurance and health institutions in a renovated contractual framework, optimization of patient transport (choice of the most suitable vehicle, optimization of the transport order...).
    In addition, this expenditure effort will be accompanied by the allocation of new revenues to accelerate the improvement of the balance of the Maladie branch. Given the combination of a persistent deficit in the Malay branch and, on the other hand, an increasing surplus in the AT-MP branch since the year 2013, a transfer of contributions of 0.05 points between the AT-MP branch and the Malay branch of the General Plan will be put in place in 2016 and then in 2017, to improve the balance of the Malay branch of 250 million euros for each of these two years, i.e., 500 million euros. This transfer of contributions is justified by the solidarity approach between branches of the general system, at the heart of the principles of social security since its origin, as well as by the indirect effects of the AT-MP branch as a result of improving the efficiency of the care system, primarily funded by the Maladie branch. In fact, the reimbursement of care and the evolution of rates ensure continuous integration of technical progress in the medical sector, which ultimately leads to a decrease in the average cost of treatment of pathologies, thus a positive impact on the AT-MP accounts.


    2. Costs of benefits contained


    The overall plan's net benefits are expected to reach €31.6 billion in 2015, followed by €325.3 billion in 2016, an increase of 2.8% before taking into account new measures.
    The increase is mainly due to benefits paid by CNAMTS (+3.5 per cent) and CNAVTS (+2.5 per cent). Conversely, CNAF's benefit expenditures were reported to be low (+0.3%), as a result of family benefits reform. The modulation of family allowances would help to reduce spending in 2016 but would be almost compensated by the increase in maintenance costs under resource constraints.
    The reform of the methodology for calculating the revalorization of benefits is part of this expenditure control. On the one hand, the revalorization dates will be aligned for all benefits, with a revalorization on April 1 of family benefits and disability pensions and parameters that condition access to certain benefits (resources of complementary universal health coverage and assistance in the payment of a health supplement); benefits currently revalued as of 1 October, mainly retirement pensions, would remain. On the other hand, a "shield" rule will be created, guaranteeing the maintenance of benefits at their previous level in the event of negative inflation, in a general framework where revalorization will no longer function than known and non-foreseen developments, and will therefore exclude any need for a posteriori correction. Thus, the revalorization would be based on the latest inflation data (excluding tobacco) published by the INSEE and valued on average over the last 12 months, instead of being calculated from an inflation forecasting evolution for the year N and the application of a correction for the same year as the deviation for the year N - 1. Inflation prediction exercises are complex in nature and the increase in price volatility in recent years has led to the application of significant fixes.


    3. Old-age balances reflect the effects of the 2014 pension reform


    In 2016, old-age insurance expenditures were moderate, with an average of 2.5% over the 2016-17 period. This increase is due in particular to the combination of a stability in retirement and an average amount of the increase in pension, the acceleration of inflation in 2016 only playing low on the year 2016 given the date of re-evaluation of pensions set in October.
    This evolution takes into account the effect of the reforms adopted under the Act of 20 January 2014 guaranteeing the future and justice of the pension system, including the various immediate but also long-term recovery measures, which aim to confront, in a responsible and precisely distributed manner, the long-term challenge of extending life expectancy. The latter have been accompanied by justice and solidarity measures to correct the most important inequalities in the face of retirement, such as recognition of sustainability at work, to allow for, among other things, better consideration of the quarry and career hazards, especially those of women, or of the conditions for the real entry of young people into active life.


    III. - In keeping with these financial equilibrium objectives, the 2016 PLFSS is a major reform of health insurance and the second part of the accountability and solidarity pact.
    1. Continued employment and competitiveness policy of the Covenant


    The implementation of the competitiveness and accountability pact continued in 2016, in order to restore the competitiveness and productive capacity of companies and encourage them to invest and hire. Companies will thus benefit from a € 4.1 billion decrease in their mandatory levies under the 2016 PLFSS.
    This results in a further reduction in the rate of family allowance contributions up to 3.5 SMIC, at a cost of € 3.1 billion in 2016 (approximately €4.4 billion in full year from 2017). This amount is slightly lower than that of 4.5 billion euros estimated in 2014, due to an increase in the salary mass lower than that initially provided for in this first estimate. In addition, the amount of the sum of the sum of the sum of the sum of the sum of the sum of the sum of the sum of the sum of the sum of the social security financing law for 2014 as part of the first stage of the gradual elimination of the social contribution of the companies (C3S) is increased, from €3.25 million to € 19 million, which represents an impact of a billion euros on the revenues of social security. This slaughter will apply to the 2015 turnover for the C3S payment in 2016.
    These measures will be compensated in full by the State under the financial laws, in accordance with the commitments made by the Government in 2014. This compensation results in a budgeting of the costs of family housing allowance (FAL), at € 4.7 billion, as well as the financing of the legal protection of majors, for € 0.4 billion. In addition, the phasing out of the recipe from the paid leave funds, which was allocated to the financing of the pact, will result in the allocation of perennial resources replacing it. Indeed, the measure, which came into force since April 1, 2015, generates a recipe of €1.52 billion in 2015 and €500 million in 2016, before extinguishing from 2017.


    2. Establishment of universal disease protection


    The introduction of universal disease protection is aimed at universalizing the care of health costs, in order to simplify the approaches for both insured and managerial organizations and thus ensure the continuity of rights. This new regime does not alter the level of social insurance rights. In fact, the law will now provide that any person who works or, when they do not have an activity, resides in France on a stable and regular basis, has the right to care for their health expenses. Employees who work will remain affiliated with their current social security regime, while others remain in the last scheme to which they were affiliated.
    This reform makes it possible to simplify the opening of rights, since the social security funds will no longer have to verify compliance with the conditions of opening rights (number of hours worked). The control will now be directed towards a strengthened control of the residence of persons receiving health insurance. The transfer procedures will also be facilitated through a fully dematerialized process. The notion of being a major right will also be phased out, since it is obsolete in a universal coverage regime.


    3. Continuation of the generalization of access to supplementary health protection


    Complementary health insurance is now a substantial part of access to care. This is why the President of the Republic has set the goal of generalizing access to quality complementary health by 2017. After the Interprofessional National Agreement of 11 January 2013, transposed into the Act No. 2013-504 of 14 June 2013 With respect to job security, the reform of so-called responsible contracts, the competition of ACS contracts, new measures are planned to promote access to complementary protection for populations who have the most difficulty in accessing them, i.e., persons over 65 years of age and persons working under short and very part-time contracts.
    In fact, the cost of supplementary health coverage is higher for people over the age of 65 than for the overall population as they assume a higher burden on the contract's acquisition cost and support health expenses after reimbursement by compulsory health insurance and the larger health supplement. It is therefore expected that people over 65 years of age will be able to access complementary health insurance offers that will be selected, following a competition procedure, on criteria based on the quality of the guarantees and the proposed price. In addition to providing access to health-related supplements at a higher price, the system should improve the adequacy between the needs of insured persons and the complementary benefits they receive and the increased legibility of the offers offered on the market for insured persons.
    In addition, in order to give full effect to the provisions of the law based on the inter-professional national agreement of January 11, 2013, a suitable modality for the implementation of the coverage of employees with low quotity of work or hired in short-term contract is provided so that these employees can, if they otherwise subscribe to an individual insurance of the same type, obtain from their employer, in place of the adhesion to the cover
