real reform begins in.... France?

Don't get too carried by the fact that she, and the majority of thee French, are pleased with thier healtcare system. Remember, the majority of the Fench are liberals, and liberals love government provided anything. Also, the unemployment rate in France has been between 8.7 and 11 percent over the last ten years. The unemployed, who are provided with free healthcare, are not as apt to complain about the quality. The portion of healthcare financed by personal income tax is increasing, as have copayments. In 2000 a public supplementary insurance program was inplemented to help the poor who can not afford copayments. How is that funded? Payroll taxes.
