Healthy,wealthy but not very wise.
Elodie, my little French friend, was told I had promised a message, from her, to you all, and all she could say (with a full mouth) "No time - too hungry" - so it's me again, to keep you amused over this dreary week-end!
On one of my favourite themes, the various "National Health Systems" particularly in Europe, and today with one of them with which I have a lot to do at the moment, the French!!
Having had dealings with numerous systems in Europe, I consider the French to be the absolute worst. The French, however, consider it to be the absolute best!! HENCE THE TITLE:
To my mind, it is outdated, doesn't refund anything like the actual costs, is run for the most part by incompetent (generally career females) idiots, who are not there to work, but to fill in the time between taking the kids to school and going back to pick them up! And yet:
They throw back at any criticisms ,normally, the same argument - "Our system is so good, that other European Nations send their patients to us, because the waiting period is so long in their own country!"
It may well be the case that the waiting period for hospitals etc is much longer elsewhere, but they haven't reflected on the REASON why, in France, the period is much shorter.
It's simple, French people are refunded on such a low % basis, that they can't afford to go to hospital! Therefore the hospitals are under-supplied with patients, and can (indeed - must) take in other nationalities. If they didn't, they would have to close down, with the loss, particularly, of VOTES for the local and National politicians, to whom the title of this article is dedicated!!
That will do me for this week-end, I have so many things to do - let's do them!!
