The quality of healthcare in France is indisputably high. The World Health organisation in their 2000 survey placed France as number one in the world in the provision of universal healthcare for its citizens. With one or two specific exceptions waiting lists, such as those that occur in the UK, do not exist in France. One has choice of doctor, hospital and specialist and in the latter case referral by a GP is not necessary. Most wards have two or four beds and private rooms are readily available.

 

 

The high standard of healthcare has to be paid for. Those in employment pay high obligatory social security contributions to a sickness organisation. There are several of these "caisses" depending on the nature of the business activity. For example, those expatriates who are retired or have taken early retirement will affiliate to the "Caisse Primaire Assurance Maladie"(CPAM) of which there is a nationwide network of offices. But CPAM will still only cover a proportion of the costs (typically 70%). Even with hospitalisation the individual could face up to 20% of the costs depending on the specific treatment received.

Arrangements vary from country to country, but even where well-resourced state schemes exist, your entitlement may be restricted to the most basic care. Elsewhere in the world, the standard of healthcare you might expect is just not available. Whatever the case, the cost of paying privately for even the most routine medical treatment is likely to be prohibitively expensive. The answer for many people is international medical insurance.
