Have you already decided without doing the research? Does that make you a person with an open mind?
Here is a quote and a link for you:
"Among the many differences between the U.S. and the French health-care systems is the approach to medical training. While U.S. medical school graduates in 2008 had an average debt of $154,000, French medical students receive their training virtually for free. For example, first-year medical students at the Faculte de Medecine Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris have only one mandatory cost for this year: an enrollment fee of $264."

I am sure that it is expensive in France - just not expensive for the students.
I wonder, since a student only pays $264 perhaps he is not as invested in his education? Might the drop out rate be higher?
Well I provided a quote and a link to support my statement and you have not. Which one of us is more likely to be spreading misinformation?
Quotas? That's gotta be good (sarcasm).
Of course not they don't have to pay back loans. But I wonder if the total cost is not about the same - well since government can seem to do nothing efficiently it might be more in France.
I am glad they have enough doctors to send out of the country. But...
"The petition [crafted by Frances top doctor's] also said successive French governments had saved money by placing draconian limits on the number of training places for doctors and nurses. As a result, especially with the introduction of the 35-hour working week, there was a crippling shortage of trained medical staff, forcing the permanent or temporary closure of many wards."
