The issue between hospital in the presidential campaign. On Tuesday, 200 hospital doctors have indeed called for the abolition of private practice to public hospitals, which they denounced the "excesses". "We, hospital doctors, deplore the excesses of private practice at the hospital," say essentially the signatories of a manifesto published in Tuesday's newspaper Libération. Among the subscribers of this call candidates, there is particular to Professor Axel Kahn and Irene Frachon pulmonologist, who broke the story of the Mediator. Some doctors in public hospitals have private activity within the public hospital and impose higher fees, a practice tolerated in attracting renowned professionals in the hospital. But this process is increasingly seen as an exaggeration. According to the manifest and signature, "only a little over 1,800 of 45,000 hospital doctors have a private activity with higher fees," and "abuse or fraud reported affect only a small minority of them." However, "these abuses are regularly denounced but is tolerated by the medical community and, unable to enforce ethical rules, and by the administration and political power, unable to enforce the law," they write.
"Revaluation of prices paid"

These doctors then ask the government to "discuss with the professional conditions for an end to private practice within the public hospital." A strong application but in this election period has more chance to be heard. This deletion must also be accompanied, according to them, "Limitation of excess fees in town," a "revaluation of prices paid by Social Security" and the "creation of a public liability insurance professional. "

The agreement will also state that "various allowances" are included in the calculation of pensions hospital doctors. "Until the new law, private activity should not exceed 20% of the activity of doctors," they say, suggesting that "in the interests of transparency," all of these fees are paid into the fund hospital, which will donate the percentage due to practitioners after taking a charge. This manifesto was signed a few weeks after the publication of a study of 60 million consumers. This proved that some surgeons authorized, on average once a week, to perform medical private hospital within the public would benefit to apply "indecent prices." Thus, many price differences between tasks are often identified from one hospital to another. The manifesto will then terminate.
