[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 118454, member: 84"] Heather You just might want to wait to move to France. Universal Health care sounds good, but there are ALOT of flaws with the system. Quality of care tends to go down, the waits can be outragious (depends on where you're talking about) and some care is just not available. Had a friend recently return to the US in order to get decent medical treatment. Know of several others in countries with the system who hate it. Our system is fine. The problem is that Docs and insur cos have been allowed to run amuk. Insurance companies most especially since they see profit if you don't get treated or get as little treatment as possible. In most cases, insurance co's today dictate your medical care. Most docs do what insur wants so they get the bill paid. Our system needs revamped. Not replaced. I'm in the same boat you are. Several pre-existing conditions, one that's terminal. Oh, I'm sure if given the choice some insurance co is just gonna jump at the chance to cover me.
