> in France, healthcare is not completely free, and somewhat resembles the US model That's the result of the privatization that has been pushed by the Anglosaxon business lobbies to Europe and everywhere else since Reagan/Thatcher period. They forced privatization of whatever they could get away with. Its still a socialized system with some forced privatization being pushed through. France is not the only country - all US satellites have been pushed to do some degree of privatization.
