So you voted for ObamaCare based on Euro "success" with socialist health care?

over and over again, libs praise France - the best healthcare in the world!!!!!

so what do you think about this? Looks like healthcare professionals have had enough, eh? so not only are citizens taxed to death to pay for 'free' healthcare, they also have to pay a fee to the doctor anyway!

French doctors protest against restrictions on what 'fees' they can personally charge for all that 'free' healthcare but also fear a slide toward capitalist system of healthcare?

Are they on crack, or is this faulty reporting? Which is it? Do they want to be capitalists and charge for services, or give up fees for services since they're paid as employees of the State???

LOL

Update:

OH the denial!!

fyi: France’s state health fund has fixed rates of reimbursements for many doctors’ services.

When doctors charge more than that, patients or their private supplemental insurance pay the rest.

Many doctors oppose a plan by Health Minister Marisol Touraine that aims to limit how much doctors charge above the state insurance system’s reimbursements.

    Look up "Straw Man Argument" ... it's a ploy used by the less intelligent because they are incapable of having an actual, meaningful discussion. That's what you're doing here.

    Libs praising France "over and over again" as the best health care in the world? No. That doesn't happen. I know it would fit your silly little argument if that did happen but it doesn't.

    The EU's current struggles are because of healthcare? Nope. Not even close.

    Nice try though. I'm sure the hosts of uneducated conservatives here will give you the ol' high five on your brutal liberal smack-down but those of us with half a brain know better.

    The election is over. You lost. I understand you want to cry, but it's getting pathetic.

    Conservatives love to jump on any perceived flaw in another country's health care system (usually based on anecdotes rather than hard statistics) but are willingly blind to the massive inefficiencies and poor outcomes of our own health care system. You would think that if these European and Canadian health care systems were so terrible, there'd be huge public pressure to move to a US-style system or, at the very least, the conservative parties would be trying to privatize health care. Wrong on both counts. No one in any other country thinks the US has a good health care model worth emulating (even with Obamacare's minor improvements).

    Overseas, even staunch right wingers tend to be amazed and horrified that the US system made it impossible for sick people to get insurance and allowed people to die of treatable illnesses because they couldn't afford care.

    Universal healthcare is not the same thing as Socialist medicine.

    Massachusetts is not in Europe. Obamacare is based on Romneycare.

    Try again.
