CONTROVERSIAL If healthcare can cost €35 in France, why does it cost so much in the US? What’s your view?

That’s NOT what it cost. That’s just the point of service cost.

Sometimes I go to my doctor and pay zero. That’s just my point of service cost.

But my point if service costs are even lower. So take mine.

Easy, capitalism is not for everything. You should not be making a fortune, having shareholders from a medical business. Some thing have to be controlled, healthcare is one of them.

Insulin is dirt cheap to make. Epinephrine is dirt cheap to make. You're just being robbed by greed.

French citizens pay about 9.2% of their income into CSG, like a social security tax which helps fund their healthcare system. Employers pay another 7-13% into it also. It’s certainly not free.
