Didier TABUTEAU - Health and Liberty

Pouvoirs n°130 - L’état des libertés - septembre 2009 - p.97-111

Recent medical, economic and political changes could put into question the bases upon which the balance between liberty and the protection of health has been gradually established in our society. The public health system and its economic regulation procedure have led to a multiplication of sanitary norms and prohibition measures. Freedom of choice remains the basic principle for the organization and operation of the French system of public health and health insurance. However, various mechanisms of sanitary conditioning tend to develop insidiously. The development of a genuine political debate about public health issues is more urgent than ever. Résumé
