  • Le plus mauvais ? C'est une conception idéologique ! La société est au service des hommes et pas l'inverse ! Voilà la Doctrine choisie en 1945 et qui continu à exister aujourd'hui. Ce qui nous plombes ce sont les fraudes fiscales des entreprises (que l'on laisse impunément fraudé!) de même que des exonération inutiles et surtout inefficaces aux hauts revenus. Nous avons perdus 195 Milliards par des exonérations au Capital ! Là est le véritable problème ...

  • @Mamakayi It has that much deficit for two reasons: medical equipment of course, and the fact that the whole Europe (and sometimes people from Africa) comes to France to be treated. France is too nice for its own good, that's my opinion.

  • All what's in this video is true.

    Now, for dirt poor and esp. unemployed people like me, it's not super rosy.

    Impossible to buy complementary insurance (too expensive when bought on an individual basis, twice the price as when bought through the employer) and savings to make of course, so bye bye dental care and eyesight correction (the two very badly reimbursed items), one thing wonderful though is a free checkup once in a while from the age of -+ 45 on in a dedicated hospital.

  • @Mamakayi The total debt is $53 Trillion dollars for medicare. The total debt for medicaid totaling all states is 15.4 billion dollars.

    Obviusly our system and the french system needs to be fixed. The french system needs to increase higher taxes so they wont have a deficit and american... well... that depends on what we want to do with the 50 million people who are uninsured... Funny thing is, 50 million people aren't getting taken care of and yet we still run a deficit lmao.

  • jeez, they got a doctor on the ems team... you cant tell me that isnt awesome.

  • @BBBradH and the funny part about this is that the french still live longer than the americans...

    but thats not the issue at hand, the issue is that you say you can wait years for procedures for treatment or you can pay out of pocket and get it checked out by a private doctor. do they have an opt out program ?

  • In Australia, which has somewhat of a similar system, you can wait years for procedures and the waiting times are getting longer. France will completely collapse financially in the next 10 years, and with it the health care system. You won't want to be in the waiting list then.

  • No wonder France is filled with bludgers.

  • @elderdruid44 They CAN overcharge!!! About 30% of the french doctors overcharge, but the "complémentaire", a private insurance, pay for that. Almost every french have a "complémentaire" insurance. If you have no revenues, you have a free "complémentaire".

  • I think the the french Health Care system has the perfect combination of Freedom of Choice between private and public Health Insurers. As well as access and affordability.
