I wouldn't say france works and is efficient enough. You can see the covid crisis as a revelatory of what doctors and hospital are going trough in france. underfunded, directed by people from business schools looking at profitability (less beds, merging services between hospitals, promoting their buddies/network, hiring people to recreate company-like hierarchy where you undermine anyone that is not in your team) the goal of the current government is to cut everything that they can and obviously they would love to have less public hospitals.

Not even talking about the building renovations that are near impossible, the medical devices that will never be next-gen and the idea of counting beds rather than patients.

Yes it works. it is not efficient. And it is putting immense pressure on doctors that are underpaid, underappreciated by management.

I can see where it is going and I think we will be very sad. They want all the bad sides of the american model + the bad sides of the french model. None of the good ones. And then on their business model and powerpoint the picture will look amazing. Just like any BS company tweaking their financials to look great.
