The whole world envies it; it is the symbol of a united France, a source of national pride, almost an idol! The french Social Security system is celebrating its 80th anniversary. But at a time when public accounts are showing a huge deficit and the age pyramid is reversing, its future and its financing are being called into question. How can this jewel be preserved without causing it to lose its lustre? Can the untouchable be touched ? Sacrée Sécu lifts the veil on the history, legends and taboos surrounding a model that is unique in the world.
