Facing the project to delist thermal cures by health insurance, the Municipality of Balaruc-les-Bains calls for a major citizen mobilization on Friday, October 23rd.

The Municipality of Balaruc-les-Bains is issuing a call for residents, spa-goers, and all those attached to access to care to mobilize. This initiative aims to protest the plan to delist thermal cures by health insurance.
Thermal cures, prescribed by a doctor, are recognized for their contribution to relieving pain, improving mobility, and preserving the quality of life for many patients. In Balaruc-les-Bains, testimonials from spa-goers confirm their benefits.
Questioning their reimbursement risks making these treatments less accessible and weakening an economic activity essential to the territory, its jobs, and its local economy.
The objective is to make collective voices heard to defend natural medicine, universal access to care, and the future of thermalism.
The gathering is scheduled for Friday, October 23rd at 11 AM, on the Promenade des Bains, in front of the Balaruc-les-Bains Thermal Baths.
