Abstract
This paper examines a reform of the French healthcare system that aimed to empower patients and improve their access to care but led to various adverse consequences for patients. Specifically, already socio-economically disadvantaged groups of patients found their positions becoming even more precarious. Conceptually, we draw upon Emerson’s power dependence theory and find that, rather than empowering patients, the reform resulted in private health insurance providers emerging as critical actors and primary beneficiaries of power network changes. This healthcare system-level analysis highlights the need for patients to be the direct focus of healthcare system reform and the importance of considering their position within the power network for understanding reform outcomes. This attention to the power network adds to the extant theorisation on the effects of funding mechanism reform on the nature of patient empowerment and access to healthcare.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
