What I've seen on the lounge tonight is as bizare as anything going back to the last century. However what interests me at the moment is what I've been reading (source) that under Louis-Philippe of France, hospital care in Paris was free, as well as being possibly the best care in the world at the time. For foreigners (i.e. Americans) medical education in Paris was free, and medical school lectures were open to all. Obviously someone had to pay for this, but the system was viable. Over sixty four thousand hospital patients were treated per year.
If a monarchical government can provide state of the art heathcare to the people at no charge why is it so difficult today?
