摘要

The aim of this article is to analyse the historical transformation of the for-profit hospital market in France. Starting from the after-war period, we demonstrate that the rise of the private hospitals, from small challengers to autonomous financialised and concentrated corporations, follows a path made of regulatory change, technical development and demand construction. To do so, we qualitatively analyse the laws and official reports over the period. We conclude that the accelerated for-profit hospitals’ financialisation results from the budget constraint implemented in the subsidisation of this sector inducing search for cost production decrease, along with a conjunction of other factors such as the extension of the for-profit health insurance, the regulation allowing private hospitals to adapt and the development of the investment funds sector in France.
