« Développer massivement » [“Massively develop”] public hospitals without an amount or staffing: nothing to cost. The financing announced in the same statement (contributions, challenging the « dizaines de milliards d’euros d’exonérations de cotisations patronales » [“tens of billions of euros of exemptions from employer contributions”], an additional levy on companies' financial income) has no amount either.
Current law, sources and limits of the cost schedule
Current law. ONDAM 2026: the « établissements de santé » (health establishments) sub-target funds public and private establishments, at €111.8bn (PLFSS 2026 base). The PLFSS planned +2.4%; in November 2025 the Government announced an €850m increase bringing growth to +3.2% (explanatory statement of amendment no. 2695, which fell at first reading; the final text of the LFSS 2026, which sets the sub-target as voted, has not been reviewed).
Horizon. full year 2032, €bn/year
Limits. 1% of €111.8bn = €1.12bn today. With about 3% growth per year until 2032 (assumption), the base approaches €137bn, hence €1.3bn to €1.4bn. Commitments of “+X care staff posts” require a cost per FTE in the hospital civil service, not sourced here. The sub-objective includes the for-profit private sector: a position that targets public hospitals specifies this.
- PLFSS 2026, annexe 5 (ONDAM), 2025-10-14: « le financement des établissements de santé publics et privés (111,8 Md€) ; I.7 Le financement des établissements de santé prévu en hausse de 2,4 % en 2026 »
- Assemblée nationale, amendement n° 2695 du Gouvernement au PLFSS 2026 (n° 1907), article 49, exposé sommaire (amendement tombé), 2025-11-12: « Cet amendement acte le rehaussement de l’Ondam de 1 milliard d’euros, conformément à l’engagement du Gouvernement en soutien au système de santé. Sur ce montant, 850 millions d’euros sont fléchés vers le financement des établissements de santé […] La progression du sous-objectif « établissements de santé » atteindra ainsi 3,2% en 2026, contre 2,4% dans le projet initial. »
- Infirmiers.com, amendement du gouvernement à la LFSS 2026, 2025-11: « 850 millions d'euros fléchés vers les établissements de santé ... l'enveloppe dédiée aux établissements de santé affichera ainsi une progression de 3,2% »
How to read these amounts. These are static costs and revenues, with no feedback effect, over a full year: nothing on growth, employment or the revenue that economic activity would gain or lose. A higher net cost does not on its own make a worse policy, nor net savings a better one: each programme rests on an economic model (demand-led stimulus, lower compulsory levies, consolidation of the public accounts…) that the cost schedule does not settle. GDP itself measures a volume of activity, not well-being or the usefulness of what is produced. Economic models and feedback effects.
