If healthcare was provided by the state, Mom and Pop stores wouldn’t be able to easily afford to operate. In France, it’s extremely expensive for small businesses to hire workers and the advantages go to the large companies who can afford to pay those “social charges.” If you pay a worker €20,000 in France, it costs the employer €40,000 for that worker. Then the €20,000 wage is also taxed at a high percentage. The result is. That France has very low per capita disposable income than does the US. Anytime government “runs” something, there is a non-trivial deadweight loss incurred. We need to find ways to increase efficiency, not hamper it.
