Why France is so superior in health care? Should USA follow their example?
France's infant death rate is 3.9 per 1,000 live births, compared with 7 in the U.S., and average life expectancy is 79.4 years, two years more than in the U.S.
The country has far more hospital beds(Fra:7,7/1000 citizens, US:3,3) and doctors(Fra:3,4/1000, US:2,3) per capita than America, and far lower rates of death from diabetes and heart disease. The difference in deaths from respiratory disease, an often preventable form of mortality, is particularly striking: 31.2 per 100,000 people in France, vs. 61.5 per 100,000 in the U.S.
If you think about these statistics, should USA copy France as much as it can?
Yes we should follow it and eat more like the french. But we are rich smug consuming greedy capitalistic country that preys on weak nations to destroy their beliefs if they are not in alignment with ours. I am ashamed of the Country I lost my foot to in war.
