title: [Development of health care networks: ethical and political contexts].
abstract: The operation of our health care system is in the midst of a major crisis. There is a significantly unacceptable level of health inequities and access to care, high premature mortality rates, lack of a coherent health policy, a weakness in the professional demographic projections, increasing financial deficits, quasi-revolt of professionals, complete disregard for the law (Parliament's vote on the National Insurance's budget)--these are just a few of the symptoms of chaos which have embedded themselves right before our very eyes. This article aims to offer a glimmer of light on this gloomy horizon. It is the first outcome of a new working group which was originally referred to as "les Vignerons d'Uzès", a title which could be seen as lacking substance and has therefore become "The Transdisciplinary Working Group on the Organisation of Health and Care". The group's purpose and objective is to reflect upon the values, practices, regulations, evaluation and what is at stake in the context of our health care system.
