Health in France → Health care in France – The page was moved in 2009, so we can include public health data in the same article, but this is merely one sentence and other countries have Health care articles. --Anneyh (talk) 09:03, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Merge
The correct title is probably “Health care in France or even Healthcare in France; either way the articles should be amalgamated together. Hugo999 (talk) 08:48, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

There was an article at Health care in France, and an article at Health Care in France. I have merged the two but the article probably needs some attention from an expert in terms of reordering the article and eliminating any duplicate information. fish &amp;karate 14:10, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Obesity
The section on obesity has a confusing sentence, which I can't understand. It says that "there is a myth about the French not getting obese, however," indicating a contrary point, "France is only ranked as the 128th fattest country in the World..." saying they actually aren't very obese. I'm not sure if this is the intent, but I think it could be rephrased to: "There is a myth about the French not getting obese that implies French people seem to be able to eat whatever they want without any health consequences, and while this popular myth has no factual basis, France is ranked as the 128th fattest country..."

Does that make more sense? Josephmarty (talk) 16:06, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Trade Unions
There should be a section about the role of the trade unions in this system. While under heavy legal regulations, and under scrutiny by the government, the mandatory health insurance system in managed by trade unions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Herix (talk • contribs) 15:58, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Why put in US dollars?
Why is the fees and reimbursements section converted into US dollars? That has nothing to do with the article contents, if a reader is interested in the US dollar value, they can look it up themselves. Why should we give special focus to US dollars? To make it fair, we would have to list hundreds of currencies in use throughout the world. Neither do we see this done in other pages here. - 80.111.159.148 (talk) 17:05, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

GPs as gatekeepers
In the ambulance section, it says GPs do not carry out a gatekeeper function. As of 2005 reforms in french healthcare GPs must be gatekeepers to gain full reimbursement of specialized services.
