France spent more of its gross domestic product (GDP) on healthcare in 2010 than the average of other key developed markets. This reflects the coverage by France’s free universal healthcare coverage system (Couverture maladie universelle), although patients are increasingly incurring out-of-pocket costs. Indeed, the healthcare system in France is characterized by a complex mixture of public and private financing, which together provide high quality healthcare without the waiting lists that are typical of many other countries.
