La santé, « nouvelle frontière » de l’intégration européenne ?

The article sets out the possible impact and the consequences that a growing Europeanization of national healthcare systems will have for European integration once a decision has been made for a real European approach to healthcare. The article does not try to show how and why certain political tensions have emerged between the European and the national level concerning the nascent Europeanization of the healthcare sector. It rather imagines a step ahead, the "new frontier" of European integration: it is a plea for a coherent and sustainable European approach to healthcare which would embody a systematic and practical exploration of a Europe-wide notion of solidarity.
