With the Democrats pushing for a government-funded model and President Donald Trump campaigning on repealing Obamacare without a clear alternative, Americans are considering what kind of health care system they may want., with most of their plans calling for a universal single-payer health-care system, closely modeled after Canada's health-care system. But there's another national health-care system that's worth paying attention to: France's.

Stop pushing the democrats narrative on healthcare we do not want it! That’s why they come hear for treatment

How many people won’t be able to afford current Part B ($135/mo.), Medicare Advantage plans, 20% copays.

Medicare is not FREE Healthcare - you pay premiums and are responsible for 20% and the government won’t be able to undercut payments because insurance won’t be picking up extra tab.

Are you kidding? Relying on rankings from 2000? France dropped all the way to number 10 in Commonwealth Fund’s most recent survey, one notch above the U.S. - world’s worst health care system. The U.K. is its overall winner.

Does anyone not care about the doctor and nursing shortages? Forget how we pay for it... it will be where can we find a doctor or how long will we wait for treatment/surgeries..

What’s the problem here. If more people buy into Medicare for less due to All Americans opting in wouldn’t ALL hospitals and insurance companies earn more hire more and thus everyone would be healthier and everyone would benefit from the additional tax revenue realized 🤔🤷‍♂️

When did CNBC abandon the idea of free markets?

Tell me one thing that the government pays for that’s ran correctly? Now democrats wants everyone to hand over their healthcare to them? Por favor.

You can wait 62 hrs foran ambulance, I'll keep the five minutes time I get now. Thanks.

Austria also, pretty much everywhere else in the civilized world

There are 19 health care systems in the G20 better than the US’s. When an infant is born on this planet there are 34 countries where its survival probability is better than the US. “I know all that but I need to keep my insurance” says MAGA guy.

Germany has an interesting public/private mix that seems to work well

I would love to meet the people who say the Cad system works. It doesn’t. If you can get a family doctor it takes weeks for an appointment. 8 to 10 months for a specialist. 6 months for an MRI. National drug shortage. 2 years for hip or knee replacement. It sucks up here.

Laissez-les avoir Medicare!

When the government controls your health care, it CONTROLS YOU!!!

In Canada it may be free but you are going to wait. Slow death... high high taxes.

French Medicare-for-all !

Wrong! 'Free Everything for Everybody' has become a mantra in the Democratic primary race.

Perhaps we should take a look at the V.A. Healthcare system, our nation’s first national healthcare system. Could use some tweaking to say the least...

Thank God for CNBC. They will assure Trump gets re-elected.

Free stuff for you if you vote for me

No thank you ! Propaganda Democrat news network at work CNBC

Yeah, Venezuela and Cuba are looking great too !

That's a load of crap !!

WOW!!!! Sounds like France has a great system.

Senior management at fake news will be not be subject to socialized medicine

America can not aford it after trump's 1.7 trillion tax/con of 2017 !

The stupidity of the authors is mind blowing....1st socialized medicine in these countries only works because of U.S. innovation. Second none of these countries have the military requirements we do. Stop pushing deadbeat ideas!
