The World Health Organization recently declared that France has the best healthcare system in the world, according to statistics. This agreement was reached by examining the overall health of French people in relation to the functionality of their healthcare system. What was found is that France is achieving a very successful balanced between the people and the government each doing their part to keep their healthcare system healthy and thriving, and the rewards benefit everyone.

A vast majority of medical expenditures in France are covered by the government. Nearly 77-percent of all medical expenditures are taken care of by France’s government budgeting. The French government is responsible for paying the salaries of its medical professionals while the smaller burden of minimal premiums and taxation falls on the French residents and citizens.

The French healthcare system is socialized but it comes with privatized options. Those who want to pay low premiums or no premiums at all in some cases can stick with the government provided healthcare, but those who wish to obtain specialty services can opt for a privatized insurance policy for additional costs. These services are valuable to people with unique medical conditions who need more healthcare than others. But the average French resident or citizen can gt by easily on the socialized healthcare plan.

The physicians in France are highly accredited medical professionals who have a well-rounded perspective on medicine and healthcare. Their value on excellence in medicine is noteworthy, and the philosophy on medicine that they promote is well balanced. This is related to the cultural approach that French people take on personal health in general. The French have a very responsible mindset when it comes to health and a very good sense of personal responsibility. Rather than placing the entire burden of health on the medical system, the French are proactive with their health, collectively eating well, exercising and taking a reasonable pace of life.
