Default French Health Care for the US? Merci, non.

On 2013-06-26 15:44:58 +0000, Frank Clarke said:

I had an English-speaking doctor and an English speaking nurse. They did an
EKG, cardiac enzymes, CBC, blahblahblah, 3.5 hours worth. In the end
the doctor
says "Go easier on yourself and always sit down before you take nitro. See the
nice lady at the cashier's desk." A chill runs down my spine.

The cashier of course accepts VISA. The bill is 80 euros, 105 dollars?
I never
bothered to ask my insurance company for reimbursement; they would have
given me
more than 105 dollars worth of grief over it.


In Paris I had an episode and spent the day being tested and poke and
prodded and xray'd and so forth. We charged us nothing. The only
cashier we even saw as at the newspaper/flower stand.
