all legal residents residing in france. it is not, i repeat, it is not an example of socialized medicine like cuba. it is also not a national health service as in the united states united kingdom. it is also not an instance of a government run health system like our excellent veterans health administration. french national health insurance in contrast is an example of public, social security, and private health care financing combined with a diverse public-private mix in the provision of health care services. the french health care system reflects three political values embraced by americans. liberalism in the sense of giving patients free choice of any doctor or any hospital they care to go to, with no networks, no restrictions. second, pluralism. everybody has a diverse choice. they can go to fee-for-service, solo practitioners. they can go to group practices. they can go to outpatient health centers. the computer emergency risk, public or private hospital, consulta ....
