La mutualité, une idée d’avenir

Mutual insurance companies, which protect the French people in times of bad health and help them plan for their retirement, raise a number of questions. Yesterday, the public authorities were looking at their reserves. Today, they are questioning the relevance of their action, which is complementary to that of Social Security. However, they have proven that they offer a field of democratic expression and a very strong capacity for innovation in terms of care, support, social action, and especially prevention. Maintaining a close connection to their members throughout the country, they are able to propose collectively developed solutions to tackle crises affecting the health of our fellow citizens, like the one we have just experienced. But they also offer care and support services. They represent a model that fully meets the expectations of a society in search of meaning.
