Should France move towards America's health care system
Should France move towards America's health care system?
"France claims it long ago achieved much of what today's U.S. health-care overhaul is seeking: It covers everyone, and provides what supporters say is high-quality care. But soaring costs are pushing the system into crisis. The result: As Congress fights over whether America should be more like France, the French government is trying to borrow U.S. tactics. In recent months, France imposed American-style "co-pays" on patients to try to throttle back prescription-drug costs and forced state hospitals to crack down on expenses. "A hospital doesn't need to be money-losing to provide good-quality treatment," President Nicolas Sarkozy thundered in a recent speech to doctors. And service cuts -- such as the closure of a maternity ward near Ms. Cuccarolo's home -- are prompting complaints from patients, doctors and nurses that care is being rationed. That concern echos worries among some Americans that the U.S. changes could lead to rationing. The French system's fragile solvency shows how tough it is to provide universal coverage while controlling costs, the professed twin goals of President Barack Obama's proposed overhaul. French taxpayers fund a state health insurer, Assurance Maladie, proportionally to their income, and patients get treatment even if they can't pay for it. France spends 11% of national output on health services, compared with 17% in the U.S., and routinely outranks the U.S. in infant mortality and some other health measures. The problem is that Assurance Maladie has been in the red since 1989. This year the annual shortfall is expected to reach €9.4 billion ($13.5 billion), and €15 billion in 2010, or roughly 10% of its budget." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124958049241511735.html

I like how they are trying to "cut prices"... by imitating the one nation that has higher prices... sounds like the problem is... they didn't figure it would cost as much as it has, even though it's still considerably cheaper than the U.S. system... you are only in the red in gov. is you don't allow enough money for a program...

Sure ... user pays upfront ... and if you don't have the dosh then, die, loser ... that's the American way ... I'm sure the French can't wait!

Which US-obtained college degrees are accepted and valued in the European Union
Which US-obtained college degrees are accepted and valued in the European Union?
Particularly interested in France and other countries. For example, an American nurse can't get a job in France normally. Are there professions that you can learn in the US but then go back and have your degree accepted? Thank you!

usually you have to work for a French company that also has offices or factories in the U.S. SO you are already an employee of the company. This gets your foot in the door. So if they need you at the "home office" in France (or whatever country), you can easily work there. Usually, such professions are engineering, accounting, purchasing, various finance or business type degrees and jobs . Any profession that is a government job, or highly protected by unions, you'll never get a job in France or any other EU country. Such jobs include nurses, teachers, factory workers (any blue-collar job) . A boring office job in a big multi-national corporation is your only chance.

As an international student there are no schools that cheap. To go to college or university in the USA, all you have to do is apply as an international student. You be accepted you must meet the same academic standards as an American applicant and to have the means to pay for it. You have to pass the SAT (GRE for grad school) and if your native language is not English, the TOEFL exam. Most schools in other countries can arrange for you to take the SAT. As for getting your student visa, the school’s international student office takes care of most of the paperwork. And they will guide you through your part if you have been accepted for admission to that school. Because Universities in Europe and other countries have heavy government subsidies, for a European student to consider a US school, they are in for what we call “sticker shock†The cost of attending a US University for an International student in the US is between US$35,000 to US$65,000 per year. As well, you have to prove you have this sort of funding available to you from family, a sponsor or student loans that you got from your home country. You cannot make enough money working in the US while at school there to pay your way either. Your student visa limits you to 20 hours a week of work (40 in the summer). This work must be either an on campus job or an outside job that the school approves as being relevant experience for your degree. For finance, private US schools may give you a partial scholarship but public schools will give you no aid. My Canadian daughter got $9500 a year from her US undergrad school towards the $33,000 a year cost. However, in some cases, like for Canadians going to a US school, you may be able to get aid from your native country. In my daughter’s case, the BC and Canadian governments loaned her a total of $10,000 per year. Beyond the scholarship and loans, her grandmother contributed $4800 Canadian a year and I paid the rest, about US$12,000 a year. Graduate students can get a GA (Graduate Assistanceship) after their first semester which will pay their tuition and give them a small living allowance if they have an exceptionally good GPA. My Canadian daughter earned one with her 4.0 GPA and because a US government research institute felt her research is important to the USA. Doctoral students, if they get a decent fellowship during grad school in the USA and if their research is considered important enough can get fully funded PhDs.
