Medical costs in the United States can be ruinous

It is no coincidence that the health insurance system in the United States is a constant feature of the debate. It is calamitous and has nothing to do with ours. There is no common health insurance system like in France. Americans or residents generally have to purchase private insurance that is very expensive, if not unaffordable for the majority of residents. In addition, some American health establishments check the solvency of patients before agreeing to take them into care.
