CA: Like I mentioned before 40 million Americans are without health insurance, how many French can claim such a prestigious honor?
This sounds a lot like the "every Frenchman/Canadian/etc has FREE medical coverage" canard. There is no free lunch. French citizens pay exorbitantly high taxes to get that health care, drug benefits, etc. Instead of laughing at the plight of Americans who choose to buy their prescription drugs in Canada, Canadian citizens should be absolutely up in arms that their taxes are subsidizing Americans' drugs.
CA: Are you aware that private U.S. insurance companies on average take 14 percent in administrative costs, that's just paper work costs to handle the behemoth that US healtcare has become.
And what overwhelming percentage of the French government bureaucracy is devoted to managing the huge entitlement programs there?
Please. You are comparing apples to oranges. You cannot get something for nothing. Providing and managing health care costs money.
