French National Assembly Approves Full Reimbursement for Wheelchairs
The French National Assembly unanimously approved a bill on December 4 to ensure full reimbursement of wheelchairs by health insurance. This initiative, championed by Sébastien Peytavie, a paraplegic deputy, emphasizes the importance of dignity for users regardless of costs. Although the government plans to implement this measure by year-end, it faces further scrutiny in the Senate, particularly concerning pricing regulations for wheelchair sales, which differs from government proposals.
