I doubt it's the health care system that bothers you: I suspect that paying for services rendered is the annoyance. It's the idea that health care costs money, just like everything else in life, that is hard to grasp for those who live in Europe (and pay European tax rates).

PS. The only medical system that might offer the same breadth and capabilities as found in the US is perhaps France.



Paying for services rendered is not the problem, believe me. I'm not that cheap. I know health care costs money and I'm more than willing to pay my share.
What I find lacking in (for example) the US system is solidarity. It was and still is hard to imagine that someone is sick and can't get treatment, because he/she has not enough money. That's where my main problem is, not with the payment of things.

JRV, how did you arrive at your PS about the French medical system?
