Thank you very much for your warm answer: in France we have a lot of flaws! But we all have a completely 100% free health system for people suffering from chronic diseases: cancers, diabetes, transplants, etc.: all drugs are free, even long-term hospitalizations too and of course transplants. I will therefore ask my pulmonologist to change my treatment.
Thank you again for taking your time to answer me ☺️🙏very good day to you.

Hi @virginiefrance
It is so nice to meet you!
It sounds like France has a comprehensive universal nice health insurance system like Canada.
Please keep me posted on whether you are able to successfully change back to your brand name medication soon.
And please keep us posted on how you are feeling.
I appreciate hearing about your universal health plan in France. There is always a lot of discussion in the US regarding "Medicare for all" but I believe our system will always be a combination of Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance companies since these programs have been in place for decades. There is also a movement to lessen government expenditures and move more of the responsibility to the private sector.
How long has France offered universal health coverage to their citizens? Are you generally happy with the program or are there longer waiting times for care sometimes, etc? I assume there are pros and cons like everything in life. But I love to learn from people that actually have the program! 😊
