Re French health care..

The one part in Moore's "Sicko" that didn't wash with me was his account of French health care.

A friend of mine was born and raised in France and continues to return there to visit family.

This excerpt...

<<<...Almost everyone in France is covered by one of three insurance schemes: general, agricultural or self-employed/non agricultural. These insurance schemes refund between 60 and 70 per cent of what the patient pays a doctor, and approximately 80 per cent of the country's 60 million residents buy supplementary insurance to cover some or all of the remaining charges, while some low-income French residents get their co-payments covered by a free insurance scheme...>>>

accurately describes the way the French system works according to my now Canadian, with French origin, friend.

He tells me that he prefers the Canadian system.His opinion only.
