Health care is a fundamental right. In France, all health care is free for everyone and this is paid for by higher taxes. When I broke my wrist in Virginia, I did not have health insurance and it was impossible for me, as a student, to pay the $1,000 emergency room bill. So it is sad to think of people who also cannot pay for medical care for their spouses and children.

  • Canada's health care is far better than the US insurance-run health care system too.

  • I so want to move to france

  • It may not be free but it's a way better than the system the United States has.

  • Oui, nous sommes payons nos impôts...mais the nous n'avons pas la misère d'y penser! Notre santé est plus importante que les politiques!

  • Health care is not free in France! Arrêtez de déconner! I am a student and I paid 200€ the social security + 200€ the mutuelle Smerep (a student complementary health care plan). So 400€ in total. Sure that's not a fortune (it's not cheap either for a student) but stop saying it's free, it isn't! And I'm a "étudiant boursier" (I have a scholarship)
