No, because I'm not talking about redundant paper shufflers. I'm talking about the people who actually provide the medical services. Nurses and orderlies and lab techs and all the people who actually do the work in the health care field.
According to the net sifter, it seems French nurses are paid slightly less than in the US, and French doctors are paid significantly less. France has slightly more doctors per capita than the US, but fewer nurses.
Yet, the French system provides better outcomes for it's citizens, at lower cost.
What should the objective be? Higher staffing? Higher pay for professionals? Higher standard of patient care, at lower cost?
