The best health care system in the world

As the U.S. is fighting against a system of universal health care, many regarded the Canadian health system as a model. Few have turned to France. It is wrong for at least two reasons. First, according to World Health Organization (WHO), France has the best health system in the world. It was widely reported that the WHO considered the French system, to be number 1, while the Canadian system is number 30 and number 37 in the United States.


It should be noted that the classification of WHO actually contain multiple locations and numbers in the rule, the classification is based on measuring the WHO classification called OP. OP is to measure “overall performance” for the performance of a country to reflect on how it could theoretically be done. When reporting the classification of 1 for France, 30 for Canada and 37 in the U.S., it is the OP ranking is used.

Why the French system has to do in the classification of WHO? The French system is characterized in 4 areas:

• It provides universal coverage
• He said health services
• Patients have free choice
• The health and longevity of the population

Second, we should look more closely, the French system because it has more similarities with the system of the United States with the Canadian and British systems. Many Americans assume that the French system as the system in the United Kingdom. Nothing could be further from the truth, or more insulting to the French. Like the U.S., the system relies on two French private insurance and government insurance. Moreover, as in America, people generally get their insurance through their employer. What is different is that everyone has health insurance in France. Each resident in France does access to health care under the law of universal coverage universal health coverage. In the French system, health insurance, a branch of the Social Security or Social Security is. The system is funded mainly by taxing workers’ wages. An employee in France pays approximately 20% of their wages to fund Social Security. These taxes represent about 60% of the cost of health insurance.
The remaining funding comes from self-employed who pay more than workers, and indirect taxes on alcohol and tobacco. Finally, the additional taxes levied on income from other, directly or indirectly.
The French do not share the same distaste for restrictions on patient choice as an American. The French system is based on autonomous private practitioners rather than a British-style National Health Service. The French are very negative attitude of the British system of “socialized medicine.” Almost all physicians in France in the nation’s public health insurance, Social Security participation. Perhaps it is time for us to look closer to French ideas on health care reform
