8 Surprisingly CHEAP things in France!

[@camembertdalembert6323]

people consider taxes are huge in France, until they have a cancer or any serious desease. A cancer can cost hundred of thousands euros, it is more than all the taxes you will pay in your life. In a country like USA, there are families who go to bankruptcy because of that. In France it can't happen. My mother had a breast cancer and our family paid nothing, we had the possibility to focus ourselves 100% on her wellness.

[@Pyriak]

@@NotEvenFrench and actually it's not really "tax" it's "cotisations" through your salary. People with low wage don't have to pay for healthcare but can be cured for free.

[@greenLimeila]

@@Pyriak It's exactly what tax means

[@CaptainDangeax]

How true. My father, retired with a private health care, had a cancer too. Grand total the full course of care costed him 18 euros. He said that to a friend of him from Jersey who answered "Bernard, if you weren't my friend since 30 years, I would say you're telling bullshit". Jersey is one hour away from France by boat...

@@Pyriak Is that the same as a "levy"? Here in Australia our healthcare is not part of our tax, yet it is paid through our taxes...its called a levy. I think it was separated so that we know exactly how much goes into healthcare and the government cannot use it for other things .....where taxes are generalized...for example I have no idea how much of my taxes go into infrastructure or welfare...whereas with levies we know exactly how much is put where it was designed to go.

[@193819441974]

c'est une option injuste face à ceux qui n'ont que le minimum. Je me bats pour supprimer ce système et en fait un système mutualiste: tout le monde aura la même chose et chaque société cotisera selon sa taille car aujourd'hui, les salariés de grosse boîtes coûtent de l'argent aux autres qui n'ont pas les mêmes avantages. D'ailleurs, il est insensé que pour un célibataire, le salariat ouvre droit à une part et, pour un couple avec ou sans enfant, une seule cotisation couvre toute la famille soit sur le régime de la sécu ou de la mutuelle privée (ou dans ce cas, une cotisation un peu supérieure mais pas proportionnelle), car les familles touchent des aides considérables (CAF et FISC, tarifs familiaux, Comités d'entreprise et le coût à deux est 40% moins cher...). Les solos ne sont pas des vaches à lait et subissent plutôt leur état civil qu'ils ne le souhaitent.

[@kurohebie3161]

Les grosses boites ont des réductions car elles apportent plus de contisants, c'est un effet de masse. Les petites boites pourraient s'associer pour négocier. Ensuite, cela coute moins cher aux salariés car dans le cadre des négociations salariales, l'entreprise peut prendre une partie des contisations à sa charge. Ensuite encore, le CE peut choisir d'en financer une partie. Le tout fait que dans certaine boite on paye moins que dans d'autres. Mais c'est comme pour beaucoup d'autres avantages. Dans mon entreprise, le forfait solo ou famille n'est pas le meme avec notre nouvelle mutuelle. avant c'était pas juste pour moi qui payait le meme prix en solo que mes colègues en famille. ca dépend des négociations.

I spent a month in Paris during the Great Recession when the dollar was dismally low. It was a work trip, as I was a researcher, paid by university funds. I was amazed by prices for bread, wine, cheese. I rarely used public transport, so I did not buy a card. What was shocking was the price of eating out at a bistro. Many Parisians told me that they could only afford to go out to a bistro for dinner once a month.

[@Vaelios3292]

"Private insurance" ("Complémentaire santé" or "Mutuelle") is not expensive because the cost is split between employees and companies. Some companies pay 100% of the cost. That why it's more expensive for retired people. Also, "Mutuelle" are not profit-based (not like private insurance).

7:23 I know I'm openning a can of worm, but I have to say it : Nuclear energy doesn't produce as much CO2 as other alternative.. It's definitely not a renewable energy source (our stock are limited), but it's nowhere as bad as burning coal, oil, or "biomass"" (whichj is a typical green sounding BS initiative that's not helping at all). The way you said it kinda implies New Zealand made greener choice than France/is more eco friendly and conscious, but not really ? It's more than New Zealand can do 80% renewable easily, while France cannot. New zealand has abudant wind ressources, and the other big 2 are hydro power and geothermal energy. Not really an option for France : Hydro power has basically already been maxed out for a while. What's left is "la petite hydroelectrique" (basically, hydropower on the small water streams instead of the big ones, ie, no big barrage in the alps) and marine power (which isn't there yet, but has problems too) Wind power isn't nearly as abundant, and basically a terrible idea in France : jancovici.com/en/energy-transition/renewables/how-many-windmills-to-produce-all-french-electricity/ (edited when I saw he wrote the article in english too) And we have no geothermal goldmines laying around. The last big one remaining is Solar. Which has a battery problem, due to the day/night cycle problem, seasonal cycle (ie we consume more energy in winter when the sun isn't here.)and well, our latitude isn't ideal. Furthermore, New Zealand has a small population compared to France. (15people per km vs 122person per km). Overall, and not to mock your country's effort, it is pretty easy here. And that doesn't stop NewZealander of having a higher footprint per capita that the french ! (5 for the french, 7 for the new zealander : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions_per_capita) So yeah, Nuclear is mostly a good thing here, imho, and not just for the prices. If we want to reduce our CO2 emissions (and listen to GIEC scientists, instead of the dumb greepeace activists) anyway... Also, nuclear energy is a case of "we pay for it" too. The state is so much behind it, it's not state run, but it's not private eitheir.

[@Redgethechemist]

That's kind of true, if ecologists really wanted to reduce CO2 emissions, they would support nuclear power. Right now, it's the only source of abundant energy that doesn't produce CO2. Solar energy is a big lie, the production of solar panels requires ultrapure silicon that produces so much CO2 that a solar panel should work at least 20 years in good conditions to compensate this initial production cost. But their lifetime is between 15 and 20 years. And you can't store energy for the needs of a full country. And concerning wind energy production, ecologists are also against this, every wind farm project is subject to public debate and ecologists are always against. Since Germany stopped nuclear energy, in periods of high demand, they buy a lot of electricity to France as they can't produce as much with their coal plants. And they have increased a lot their production of CO2 since they closed their last nuclear power plant. Until we don't master nuclear fusion, nuclear fission is the only way to have cheap electricity and reduce CO2 emissions.

nuclear centrales just can explote in your head, and touch others countries around... just that risk... it's nothing...

[@Baamthe25th]

I dunno what "explote in your head" means, the powerplants aren't in our heads at all, and I do not see the metaphor. Anyway, the nuclear fuel cannot actually explode, and there's no example of "nuclear explosion" outside of military uses. That's because you have to go to great length to make such a chain reaction, and the fissible material in central is both less enriched, and has control rod installed in it. What happened at Tchernobyl was an human error where they followed none of the protocol, and the security system where even turned off, leading to a *vapor explosion* and the subsequent fire. It's mostly due to Soviet incompetence What happened at Fukushima was a vapor explosion too, but after it was hit by a TSUNAMI that killed 18000 people. Fukushima is actually a footnote compared to that (but all of you anti-nuclear people don't give a fuck about that, nor fact or figures. Gee, the plastic that ended up in the ocean is probably bigger of a problem., but hey, the only thing that matters is that you're scared) Thoses catastrophes are the exceptions.

Hi Rosie, I work in IT and I would like to give few informations to your kiwi co-citizens. France is the second most connected country after South Korea. In the 2000s there was a trade war in IT, telephony and TV. I write this for foreigners coming to France. The companies that provide TV, Internet and Telephone are the same. That's why they created the "tri-play" offer. The provider is renting you a "box" that allows you to have TV, Internet and unlimited phone. The price varies depending on the service: after-sales, TV channels, etc. These are the same companies that propose mobile phone. That's why prices are low. Today almost the entire French population has a computer and Internet. And the French do not hesitate to change provider, given the technical ease to do it (same outlet, obligation of the law). the 4 main providers in France are: Orange, Bouygues, SFR, Free. Another thing, dear friends who are not French: The French are not grouchy: They want to understand. The French are not arrogants: they like to argue. Example when I was 17 years old, in my French class: The men who wear the mustache are they nice or bad? (Chaplin, Hitler, Freddie Mercury, Groucho Marx, Stalin, etc.) French, tell me if I'm wrong. Bonjour Rosie, je travaille dans l'informatique et je voudrais donner quelques informations à tes concitoyens kiwis. La France est le deuxième pays le plus connecté après la Corée du Sud. Dans les années 2000, il y a eu une guerre commerciale entre l'IT, la téléphonie et la télévision. J'écris ceci pour les étrangers venant en France. Les entreprises qui fournissent la télévision, Internet et le téléphone sont les mêmes. C'est pourquoi ils ont créé l'offre "tri-play". Le fournisseur vous loue une "box" qui vous permet d’avoir la télévision, Internet et un téléphone illimité. Le prix varie en fonction du service: après-vente, chaînes de télévision, etc. Ce sont les mêmes entreprises qui proposent un téléphone mobile. C'est pourquoi les prix sont bas. Aujourd'hui, la quasi-totalité de la population française dispose d'un ordinateur et d'Internet. Et les Français n'hésitent pas à changer de fournisseur, compte tenu de la facilité technique à le faire (même débouché, obligation de la loi). Les 4 principaux fournisseurs en France sont: Orange, Bouygues, SFR, Free. Autre chose, chers amis qui ne sont pas français: Les Français ne sont pas grognons: ils veulent comprendre. Les Français ne sont pas des arrogants: ils aiment argumenter. Exemple quand j'avais 17 ans dans ma classe de français: Les hommes qui portent la moustache sont-ils gentils ou méchants? (Chaplin, Hitler, Freddie Mercury, Groucho Marx, Staline, etc.) Françaises, Français, corrigez-moi si je me trompe. Le canari (l'oiseau) chante ses couleurs sur la France et les Champs Élysées..

[@TheMetrored]

I studied in Paris for a year 14 years ago and even then I was shocked at the speed and price of the internet. US providers also offer triple-play options but whole industry has been taken over by the big cable providers who operate in regional monopolies. As a result they routinely charge 2-3 times as much for their services as their French equivalents do. France should be almost as proud of their telephony landscape as they are of the TGV. I live in a state of constant envy in the US.

I feel like the French have no idea how bad healthcare is in the US. For instance, you pay several hundred dollars a month. Then on top of that, you have a deductible you need to meet before insurance actually starts covering everything. For many people it can be 2000-3000$. If you get cancer, prepare to bankrupt your family and have to sell your house. Then sometimes it doesn’t even cover dental or vision. The insurance we have is considered really good and dental is covered, but I got a cavity and AFTER insurance I had to pay 400$ for one single cavity. Our son swallowed a quarter and we had to take him to the emergency room to get it removed. We had to pay 1200$ AFTER insurance. It makes you terrified to have to go to the hospital or doctor when anything is wrong. I worked in the ER (emergency room) at a hospital and there were people who badly needed an ambulance but had someone drive them in and risked their lives because they were too afraid of how much the ambulance would cost. I’ve seen people charged multiple thousands of dollars for ambulance rides, after their insurance.

For the price of water in bottle, I may see 2 main reasons for the cheap prices: 1. France is one of the biggest producers (and exporters) of mineral water withe many brands so the competition is quite important between the different brands and groups. 2. Many french use to drink tap water so if the price of water in bottle was too expensive, french wouldn't buy it.

THANK YOU for mentioning education. When I was still studying in France I was lucky enough to have a grant that covered my tuition fees and gave me a huge amount of money each month (that I didn't really need haha), and my friends were always complaining because they did not get it - the French state deemed their families wealthy enough to provide for them. I then went to study in Scotland, and I was lucky to only have to pay £4,000 for my Master's degree (which is very cheap), even though I still needed to work on the side because my family couldn't provide for me and I would not have had any other income. I still heard French people complaining because they had to pay 500€ a year, and it drove me mad...
