mon dieu, the cheese-eating surrender monkeys win another round

via Mark Thoma, we discover this column in the globe:

france's model healthcare system
although the french system faces many challenges, the world health organization rated it the best in the world in 2001 because of its universal coverage, responsive healthcare providers, patient and provider freedoms, and the health and longevity of the country's population. the united states ranked 37.

the french system is also not inexpensive. at $3,500 per capita it is one of the most costly in europe, yet that is still far less than the $6,100 per person in the united states.

no french soldiers have died in iraq. french citizens pay half what americans do for better health care. do the french chuckle when right wing hacks in america mock them, or do they merely indulge themselves with a gallic shrug and a smile?
