As French, I'm very grateful of our healthcare. I have medical treatment since 12 years (uncurable), I go to doctor every year (rheumatologist and dermatologist), both of them work together, I have one big treatment once a month, cost 1000€ (taxes included) to the healthcare (close to $1000), never a dime of my pocket, the same treatment exists in the US (exactly the same) and cost $7000 (before taxes). Once, few years earlier, I got hospitalized almost a week due to my disease, and it's free. Just a thing, it's not "really" free, every working citizen have taxes, and in these taxes, we pay "basic health care" for everybody. People without incomes can be healed that way. I think, all European country works like that (UK with NHS, Germany, Spain if I remember, etc), I think Australia have something like that too. But, of course, some aren't free, that's why people can have private insurance.
you think you don't pay with your taxes? and you pay for strangers too... (i am french too), healthcare should be only for french not for the entire world
If you study to be a doctor in France, you have to work in the public system for a certain amount of years. It’s how you “pay back” your free education. you’re paid, but you have to work in public hospitals for a certain number of years before you can go private.
In France, for the ones who can't pay a mutuality insuraance, it's not 70-80 % reimbursed but 100% because you will have french government taking the difference at its charge. In the french constituion the Right for Life is integrated. also, even if you have not your green vital card on you, but you are injuried or ill, you're treated first by Doctors then administrative and payment things will come (sometimes several weeks before the hospital recall you for the thing and justification or payment, during the delay, the french social security will have already pay the 70-80 %, to make sure the hospital treasure could be in some difficulties for unpayment thing). The system is perfectible, but I think it's a good one overall. No stress about health fees, it means you go more easily to doctors, and the medical preventive thing makes his job. A somewhat virtuous system. About the studies, it's a bit more complexe... There are foreigners who are studying in France, it's not free sure, but it's way way cheaper... I have seen here on youtube an american girl which is living in France for few years and did her studies here, she said she had done the 2 first years in US and it costed her several ten of thousands of dollars, but then she moved to finish the 2 last years of her master in France and it costed her something like 500 or 600 dollars. I will check her video and give you the link, sure, that doesn't erase the necessity to master french language ! Nothing is granted easily. EDIT : I found the girl... search now on her channel or in this video, I think it's there about the studies thing... th-cam.com/video/Me9eM6feyFM/w-d-xo.html
I'm french, and I had a cyst on my lower back, it was removed after 3 appointements cost me 0 in total,the normal price would have been 300 euros, in the US it would have been a costs "range between $1901 and $5176"

I agree. I think the same in Belgium. I know USA very well we're I ve family. They don t say it, but are no so happy of American dream. USA is almost the only country where HEALTH is 'ot a RIIGHT
Minute 3:19 - This is like that for all of us in Europe. Going to the doctor is free or very affordable in all EU, thus we go a checkup around once a month, with a blood test. This makes us more healthy (and for this reason all countries in Europe have better life expectancy than US, not only France) and all bad disease can be diagnosed much early and sometimes before it's too late. Calling and ambulance is from free to 20 eur at the most, and this also make more people get saved thanks to a quick intervention, while in US a lot of people call uber or try to get to the ER in their own in some way to avoid 2000$ or more bill from the ambulances' companies. This is another important factor that makes US system fall behind in life expectancy
And not just health....hell, you get 35 paid days off per year. Subsidized child care. Tuition free college and a whole lot more. Moreover, all of the programs are broken down on your paystub. THAT is the way to live.
I know something about the French system. However, ‘preventive’ here means that people go to the doctor early with symptoms before they develop beyond being treatable. It is the same in the UK, early presentation of symptoms is encouraged. It is unusual to demand a health check up in the UK. You say in Brazil you got so much in comparison to the UK - but then you say that annual check up is private, maybe paid for by your employer. So, comparison between Brazil and the UK doesn’t work. You can have private health check ups every year here if you pay! You can pay £25 per month for your annual check up privately.
If you don't have money for private insurance, there's the CMU, it's for poor people. It's an insurance for those who can't afford to pay for private insurance. I'm happy with the system, my sister is mentally handicapped, and she has arthrosis and heart problems. She doesn't pay the cardiologist or the medication prescribed by specialists. The visits at the shrink and rhumatologist are reimbursed. Plus she has the AAH since she is handicapped (it's around 975 euros per month).
Thank you for sharing this information! We are considering a move to France. However, since my wife Cindy has MS, survived breast cancer, and her mother and aunts had a history of ovarian cancer, finding an insurance policy that covers these "pre-existing" issues may be a challenge. Our American health insurance (supported by my teacher's pensions) has been great for us. We wonder if France will offer the same level of neurological care as we receive in Portland, Oregon at OHSU. There is much to learn. Thanks again for posting this video. Dean & Cindy
You don't need to be a French citizen to study in France. Or in most countries, you don't need citizenship. Beside language, it's the possibility and difficulties linked to have your diplomas acknowledged back home. Trade and Commerce is easier as it doesn't really need equivalence. Engineering and a few others too.
I am French and have been living in the UK for more than 30 years. I am planning to go back to France, primarily because I am not getting any younger and am appalled by the healthcare system in the UK. Due in a big way with the government not investing in the NHS. Members of Parliament should be forced to use the NHS for them and their families, and I guarantee you the necessary credits would be deblocked very quickly... I know a lot of EU citizens who are going back to their countries to be treated...
Following the WHO rank system since 2020 France is at the 18th and in 2023 at the 20th, such a downgrading is not only due to chronical illnesses but mainly to the lack of vision of our politics and their obsession to do like in US.. We french are doomed
In the US, our health care is crap ! Re-active instead of pro-active. Went for my yearly 3 months ago, Dr. Didn't order any blood tests, didn't check my heart, lungs or anything. Didn't realize he didn't have me do bloodwork till after I left. They wait till you get sick to order any tests now ?
I’m lucky I was a medical doctor in my youth, thus I’ve been able to avoid using the US healthcare system as much as possible. Now that I’m eligible for Medicare, I used it twice, and …. I don’t want to get started on my rant, because it will take a whole book. Suffice it to say, I’ve told my children that should anything happen to me, fly me to another country if it’s curable, and let me die in peace if it isn’t. I lived in France in my childhood and yes the doctor used to come see us at home when we were ill. But we had to go to a hospital or clinic to get our vaccinations, after which my parents would take us to a patisserie and eat an eclair if I had not cried.
I don't know if you'll still read the comments on a video you posted a year ago but, here it is anyway: I'm a French woman and "preventative" healthcare means that, every 2 years , every woman aged between 50 and 74 is spontaneously invited by the Social Security to get a FREE breast cancer detection test - mammography. A list of all the X-ray centers all over your city is joined to the invitation, leaving you the choice of which is closest or more convenient for you where to have the test carried on. A similar invitation is sent to both men and women every 2 years to have a FREE colon cancer detection test. Our healthcare policy is "prevention is better than cure".
😮 Oh, a Brazilian, not American, sorry, I thought you were American, because, your view on the NHS seems skewed to the American experience instead of appreciating our healthcare. I'm English and I fully support the NHS, and, yes, I am in its care for multiple "co-morbidities". (Heart & lung, kidneys, gastroenterological issues, T2 diabetes)
Minute 2:30 - EVERYONE in Europe has better outcomes than US Considering only all EU countries and US, these are US data published by United Nations this year - Life expentancy at birth: LAST - Health care international score ranking: LAST - Number of available hospital beds per capita: LAST - People covered rate: LAST - Health care cost per capita: 1st - Child mortality rate at birth: 1st - Maternal mortality rate giving birth: 1st
Minute 2:08 - France hasn't the best medical care system in absolute. World Health Care Organization rank it that way because it's mainly an organization that loves "free market" and hate "public health system" even if those system in North Europe works MUCH BETTER than that in France, with bettere results in all metrics... But "World Health Organization" hates everything that vaguely remember any socialist attiduted and gives high ranking points only to insurances based system And I talk from an Italian point of view that is this: "I would LOVE to have same situation as France because their system is working than ours" But from sayn "System in France is better than mine" and saying "It's the best in the world" there is a BIG difference Exactly as Italian system vs US system. Our system is much better than Amercan's one and I will NEVER EVER change mine for that, but from there to saying "Italian system is the best of the world" there is a lot of road to walk by

To answer to you : if you don't have money to pay an insurance, the Social Security does it. It's Social Solidarity Allocation.

Sorry we don't want to pay 12% in taxes

It's not "voluntary", it's mandatory. It's optional only for some state employees and independants.
Even if you're an homeless, medical or chirurgical acts are taking in charge by the social security.
