Is French healthcare the best in the world?

[@videogamebomer]

Meanwhile in the US you get a broken arm and you go broke trying to pay it off

[@SilvanaDil]

If you have decent health insurance in the U.S., you get access to THE best hospitals, doctors, equipment, treatments, etc. -- with minimal waiting -- in the world. The uninsured or badly insured (about 25%) in the U.S. would fare better with other countries' health care systems.

Really, I do not know anyone this has happened to. I know lots of people who are insured and happy with it.

Hello i am an Expat living here in France, but frankly the reality is here is france it is difficult to find a rdv itself with a doctor, I have an experience here in French hospital where I was left unattended for 5hours without a diagnosis no doctor had seen us in emergency & when we asked them they told us that they have shortage of Doctors,nurses & healthcare providers. Wont completely agree that French healthcare is best, NO not at all. You should ask the people, general population who are living here in france if they are take well care off here in French hospital despite having free health insurance.

How much of your bad experience do you attribute to COVID? Our local hospital (luxury suite hotel is more like it) terminated some 80 healthcare workers (nurses, labs, etc) and hired 3 art curators and 2 pianists! Their ER releases accident victims without fully examining for injuries. Sent ME home with a bandage for a sprain after X-Rays showed no broken bones in my foot (run over by heavy metal motorized cart) - completely ignoring torn achilles tendon, a 2nd tendon and 'Soleus' muscle! Thinking they knew what they were doing I returned to work only to later find the constant running (as best I could) further damaged my foot/ankle! Now I suffer a permanent disability because no one here will operate. Medical Malpractice?

Wonderful report, as usual! Could you consider adding subtitles? For my students is hard to follow....

[@shinyshinythings]

I loved this video. The one thing you didn’t cover was the frustratingly long and expensive wait newcomers have before we get that precious green and yellow piece of plastic, and the concomitant stress about hanging on to every healthcare receipt in order to eventually get our costs reimbursed. Those of us lucky enough to have an employer-sponsored mutuelle know that we will get paid back … in a year or two. Meanwhile, healthcare can’t always be put off.

SilvanaDil didnt Obamacare make that number smaller?

[@SilvanaDil]

@@bngr_bngr - Obamacare was stupid, poorly thought out, poorly executed....

[@domdenazareth5542]

As a French let me doubt that your hospitals and doctors are better as well as your treatments given that French were always better in medicine than their English speaking counterparts. For instance, the Doctor Down that so-called discovered the syndrome bearing his name and who thought they were peoples ...from Mongolia. LOL We had to wait until French doctor Jerome Lejeune discovered the problems among the chromosomes in order to fund it. The USA were ranked 37th in 2000 by the UN for the health and I'm not sure that Obamacare improved it a lot. It's like a third world country, so let me doubt that the rich peoples in the US don't go in France or in Switzerland like many foreign presidents to get an operation.

[@superpacemaker444]

Woah someone is brainwashed... How about premium and co pays? Hmm? Oh and don't get started on special care such as chemo. Your comment is abhorrently misleading and only talking about the very best parts of an insanely messed up for profit machine WHICH BTW causes over 50,000 cases of MEDICAL BANKRUPTCY a year.

France 🇫🇷 the best in healthcare

[@r_a_]

वाह !

[@drmartin5062]

Americas population is about 12% illegal. Civil rights allow many more lawsuits for B.S. all that and more leave things so statically different it’s hard too imagine a health care system described. Possibly an entirely separate system dedicated towards mental health improvement would be great.

[@strongfoot2009]

Is French healthcare the best in the world?. No, it is nit for sure. Look to the Scandinavian countries, Canada.....etc. Wake up.

[@SilvanaDil]

Have you seen, e.g., Canada's waiting times? (Plus, drugs aren't covered.)

[@domdenazareth5542]

Wake up yourself, Scandinavian countries are overestimated for many things. They are not better than the rest of Europe on most things and it's impossible that they be better for healthcare than France. Clearly impossible. Wake up yourself about these countries. Except to put the lights on while on the road and Ikea, what they did invent ? They're rather taking the lead in many bad topics like education and so on...
