I asked that very question. They pointed out though that unlike their  
american counterparts, they don't have to carry personal insurance with a 6  
figure pricetag and another policy for their practice. She indicated that  
their level of comfort is essentially the same as their american counterparts 
 
once you take that into account. They have two houses, a huge flat in the 
city,  fancy cars, kids in pricey education institutions, all the trappings 
one 
would  expect here. Yes, they might do somewhat better here financially, 
but it is the  government control of the system they really don't like. 
Again, 
they point to  the fact that thousands of deaths every year are not 
factored in the statistics  anywhere. hospitals keep the records of death but 
do 
not count patients that  arrive in a severe trauma state. They also do not 
perform autopsies anywhere  near as often as we do here as the healthcare 
system sees this as a waste of  money, so the cause of death may be cancer or 
cardiac issues but listed as  natural causes.

Ah gee,  here we go agreeing again. <g> The stats prove the point of your  
last paragraph.  Doctors in France make 2x what most people  make.  In the 
U.S., doctors make 5 to 10x as much.  And some  make, net, millions.  It 
doesn't happen in countries with national  healthcare.  THAT is what the 
doctor is jealous  of!
