Any post that has an item which is headed, "the totalitarian implications of public health" is a place too far.

As for the story, the author apparently hasn't seen the Moore film. The most dramatic part about the French system was a dinner with a largish--perhaps ten people--group of Americans living in France, talking about their experiences with French healthcare.

Now if you think Moore made the whole thing up and these were just actors, then there is no room for conversation. But if you assume these were genuine folk, then it remains an impressive moment in the film.
