I think my point was one of "who so ever is without sin can cast the first greener grass over the neighbor's wall", or something to that effect It was not my intention to denigrate the French healthcare but note it was all the younger folk and professionals who were on vacation while Grams and Gramps sat at home in their apartments with no aircon. Some of those folks weren't paying attention to the news either as thousands of bodies went unclaimed for weeks (I think some were never claimed).
I agree that this is something that could happen in the US (but probably not to the same scale). It did however happen in France and apparently they were disturbed by it. My point was, every country has its good and bad points. It is dangerous to say with absolute certainty that any country's system is better than another. Most countries have something that works well for their people. Most have anywhere from a few to many things that work badly for their people. Unfortunately Utopia is only a book, not a real place (sometimes people forget that ).
