Letter to the editor of the Times Union
French health system covers everyone
First published: Saturday, January 28, 2006
I was surprised to read in Michael Luca's commentary (Jan. 2) that Americans may become so dissatisfied with their own health care system that "France's health care system won't look so bad anymore."
Mr. Luca seems to be unaware that the U.S. already has a system that works exactly like the French health care system (recently ranked first in the world by the World Health Organization) and, as far as I know, Americans like it. It is called Medicare. The only major difference is that it covers everyone in France, not just people older than 65.
