		coredog64 on July 10, 2017 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: U.S. health care's widespread overbilling problem French outpatient care runs in a capitalist manner. You pay full price at the office, and your insurance reimburses you at 80% of "reasonable and customary". You are free to choose any Doctor, and it is up to you to decide how much any conveniences or perceived quality is worth.

Can't say I am an expert on the French system, but a quick Google says that the insurance is pretty tightly regulated by government.
