I said health care, not cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgery isn't included in medical insurance. Not only that, but there is an obesity problem in France. It may not be in the same scale as the US, but it's there. So is our obesity problem so much worse that we pay twice what they're paying and many of us don't even have coverage? Sounds pretty unreasonable to me.
