France's Healthcare in Trouble

[belme1201]

I suppose that is partly the reason but the French seems to be programmed to think they are ill most of the time. They also seem to have an anal fixation as most of their prescribed drugs are taken as suppositories even analgesics.

There's nothing worse than dealing with a Frenchman across a desk or counter from you.
I've always been amused by the overt rivalry/dislike between the "Brits", "Frogs" and "Krauts". I have family in 2 out of the three so I hear it often. The problem is that now all three have directed their animosity toward the good ol' US of A! I hear that more than ever. I can't understand it.

Is it that or is it that because the health care is "free", they don't think about the costs of running to the doctor every time they get the sniffles?

Do the folks receiving employer-based care ask about the cost before requesting treatment?

I guess the million plus workers who went on strike to force the government to do more to protect jobs and wages during the economic crisis doesn't count, huh?

True, the actual unemployment rate in the US is around 16%.

We are ahead of most countries in cancer survival rates.

You would support a million plus US workers taking to the streets to "protect jobs and wages"? Welcome to my side.
French politicians listen to the people, not the corporations, unlike here.

I fail to see how an issue in France is relevant to the USA.

Yes, we can't be beat in areas like heart surgery and the likes, but when it comes to other types of medicine, we don't have much to brag about, like our infant mortality! and disease control like diabetes!

Maybe you're thinking of Berlusconi, who was the former Italian Prime Minister.

Maybe you're thinking of Berlusconi, who was the former Italian Prime Minister.

Thinking about Mr Berlusconi's 'colourful' background it is hardly a surprise that he'd get about as far away from Italy as he could, before allowing a man with a sharp knife in his hand anywhere near him.

Please tell me you think France spends as much $ as we do on Dentist, cosmetic surgurey, weekend warrior sports industries.
