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.

Inevitable destination

I am not sure it's possible to discuss anything (on the internet), from space travel to adorable kittens or jello recipes without ending up in a discussion on health care systems or self aggrandizing nationalism... or both (and from there... to Hitler!).
Starting with France just makes that inevitable journey a bit more direct.
