    Default My position on fixing the healthcare system

    1. Look at everything they're doing in France with healthcare

    2. Copy it and do it here



    Much simpler than my immigration position.

    I felt embarrassed and humiliated to watch French, British, and Canadian citizens laugh out loud, when they learned that in the United States one has to pay huge premiums and co-pays for surgery, doctor visits, and perscription drugs....if you're even lucky enough to have private insurance, and assuming the for-profit insurance company approves your medical treatment.

    Many of them appeared to be astonished that one would have to pay anything out of pocket for healthcare, or that some for-profit entity could deny you medical care.

    I laugh at loud whenever I hear about British and Canadian taxes. But the French healthcare system is amazingly efficient.
