It seems you may be a bit misinformed, there isn’t a European healthcard system as such, each country is different. You believed incorrectly how the French have organized. Given that I cannot imagine a more misguided prospect than to trust you.

You can find both public and for-profit private clinics/hospitals in France like here. Pharmacies in France are private businesses like here. Our doctors are not going to take a 66% paycut so forget about the French model. That is simply not ture Frieda,

Lets put all the Dr's, all medical personnel under goverment employment. Then they will be paid for by tax dollars and their services will be free. Is that where you are headed ? Or do we allow them to make a profit off the poor and downtrodden ? Alternatively I guess you could believe that "to each according to their need from each according to their ability". That would even it out for everyone I guess. anon2,

Carper will respond because he knows his head is on the chopping block. As Carper was exposed for being a real repuke with all those corporate campaign contributions in his account, he like the other blue dogs are damned straight worried. Never has an issue fired up the democratic base than health care. He either gets on board, or consider loosing the next election..money talks, bullshit walked. Mike Prtotak: can you spell idiot.
