1000 $ to see a doctor ????? you're kidding right ??? it doesn't even cost that much here to see a *surgeon* (i had a consultation with a surgeon recently : 80€, reimbursed completely). a specialist doctor is usually about 50€ and a generalist is 22€, assuming they respect the conventional tarifs. some don't and overcharge but you can avoid them pretty easily. national health insurance reimburses most of that. you can have a complementary health insurance you pay for which will cover the rest.
from time to time you hear people talking about reforming the health-care system here and suggesting we move closer to the american model. they must be on crack. i hope we never get anywhere *near* a model where it costs 1000€ to see a doctor.
