It would be interesting to see how medical pricing (regardless of who's paying) compares between France and the USA. For example, do you get those crazy "$200 for a fruit cup" type charges in France?
- ShorsHammer 8y agoFrench government health spending per capita is under half of what the US government spends. This is just public spending, private costs to the end consumer are also more expensive stateside. The US gets many things right, but healthcare is not one of them. France: $4500 USD per person US: $10,200 USD per person https://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DataSetCode=SHA https://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DataSetCode=SHA
