Even before the explosion of the Covid-19 epidemic, health spending accelerated in France in 2019: up 2.1% (after + 1.6% in 2018), the consumption of healthcare and medical goods (CSBM) reached 208 billion euros last year, or 8.6% of GDP.

In other words, each French person spent 3,102 euros in 2019 on average for treatment.

This sum includes hospital care (97.1 billion), city medical care (56.5 billion), drugs dispensed in cities (32.6 billion), other medical goods (16.8 billion) and medical transport (5.1 billion).

The increase in spending is explained, unsurprisingly, mainly by the explosion in hospital care: + 2.4%, after + 1.1% in 2018 and + 1.6% in 2017.

Complementary health insurance (mutual funds, provident institutions and insurance) pay 13.4% of the bill, a stable level

Of this average bill of 3,102 euros per French person, the very large part (78.2%) is reimbursed by Social Security, which even saw its coverage increase by 0.2 point compared to 2018, due to a increasing number of insured persons exempt from user fees.

Complementary health insurance (mutual funds, provident institutions and insurance) pay 13.4% of the bill, a stable level.

Household participation has continued to decline steadily since 2009, reaching 6.9% of the final mark.

The French thus spend out of their own pockets an average of 213 euros per inhabitant per year for treatment.

If we add long-term care, prevention and governance of the health system, health expenditure in the international sense (DCSi) reached 11.3% of GDP in 2018, i.e. 1.4 points more than the average of Europe.

And France is still the country with the lowest household burden.
