Question

Is it possible to find nice things to say about France without the ensuing discussion rapidly evolving into a U!S!A! U!S!A! U!S!A! discussion of health-care systems and such?

No.

Well, being an American, yeah, most of the stuff that I heard was along the lines of "We are the best, and totally different from America, because FREE HEALTH CARE!!!"

Which is why I like to say that as of a few months ago, all Canada has for a national identity are American co-pays and deductibles.
