Presumably you are aware of the waits in France, the different definition of infant mortality and the differences in definition of health care spending in the national accounts structure?
You have read the OECD papers on this, correct?
Wait times in France?
There isn't much in the way of that, except for MRI machines.
My comparison of the French and American system is based on experience with both. They are comparable, if you're insured in the US. If you are not insured in the US, the health care system is terrible.
