The mutual insurance compagnies are an integral part of the health insurance system. In addition to reimbursing medical expenses and furnishing a complementary coverage to the government health plan, the mutual insurance compagnies finance hospitals and polyclinics. In this way, they seek to undercut the prices set by private doctors. Their financial impact in the health sector has forced the government to include these compagnies in discussions on the scale of remuneration for various medical acts and health policy in general.The mutual insurance compagnies are presently encouraging the development of home care in an attempt to reduce the rising costs of care in hospitals and polyclinics.

AbstractAdopting as a corner-stone the expression “dying with dignity” which is widespread in the media in France, the author wonders how the experience of death can constitute today a place of convergence for the dignity both of man and God. Although he does not abandon the ontological approach to dignity such as it is described in the Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, he rather favours a clinical approach to it : it is through the concrete experience of being respected and accompanied as a human being that the patient grasps that something beyond ailment exists which is capable of maintaining him in a state of dignity worthy of a human being. It is this same behaviour that also testifies to the dignity of God who, in his kenosis, expresses his capacity not to remain an outsider to the human adventure.
