Life Expectancy is about 82.4 years old.
There are a few main causes of death seen most among the French, including cancer and cardiovascular disease. Many people survive life threatening conditions, such as cancer and heart attack, due to the quality of services. ]]> 2018-11-16 03:18:07 UTC https://padlet.com/amarkizon2015/fz0pozfz6dg1/wish/305107729 amarkizon2015 https://padlet.com/amarkizon2015/fz0pozfz6dg1/wish/305108263 France's healthcare system is funded by publicly financed health insurance, that is taken from employer and employee payroll taxes. Usually the government will cover about 70% of the costs and 100% for people with chronic illnesses. When an individual visits a doctor they must pay for their services up front and then the government will reimburse them, as long as they are registered in the state funded system. Some individuals decide to take out private insurance to cover any remaining costs that the government did not pay. ]]> 2018-11-16 03:21:22 UTC https://padlet.com/amarkizon2015/fz0pozfz6dg1/wish/305108263 amarkizon2015 https://padlet.com/amarkizon2015/fz0pozfz6dg1/wish/305108665 One of France's main goals is to provide quality access care to their citizens. The quality of acute care for heart attack and stroke has improved due to rapid treatment before patients come to the hospital according to the European Commission. Cancer care has improved through multidisciplinary trans and greater access to innovative drugs. This is due in part because France spends quite a bit on their healthcare. They are ranked 9th among EU countries in healthcare expenditure per capita and is 20% higher than the EU average. ]]> 2018-11-16 03:24:12 UTC https://padlet.com/amarkizon2015/fz0pozfz6dg1/wish/305108665 amarkizon2015 https://padlet.com/amarkizon2015/fz0pozfz6dg1/wish/305108997 Some areas of France are less populated and have little to no medical facilities near by, these are usually called medical deserts. Getting programs in place to recruit doctors to these areas will help to decrease any disparities due to the the lack of access to care. Modernization of hospitals and technology will help to improve the management of chronic diseases. ]]> 2018-11-16 03:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/amarkizon2015/fz0pozfz6dg1/wish/305108997 amarkizon2015 https://padlet.com/amarkizon2015/fz0pozfz6dg1/wish/305109623 2018-11-16 03:31:36 UTC https://padlet.com/amarkizon2015/fz0pozfz6dg1/wish/305109623 amarkizon2015 https://padlet.com/amarkizon2015/fz0pozfz6dg1/wish/305110085 Smoking and alcohol consumption are the most common unhealthy lifestyle choices and risk factors seen among the French as well as the lack of exercise and obesity rates have risen since 2013. ]]> 2018-11-16 03:35:01 UTC https://padlet.com/amarkizon2015/fz0pozfz6dg1/wish/305110085 amarkizon2015 https://padlet.com/amarkizon2015/fz0pozfz6dg1/wish/305112068 In France, anyone can gain access to their healthcare as long as they have been a permeant resident for 3 months.

France also allows their patients to choose their doctors without any kind of referral to see a specialist. ]]> 2018-11-16 03:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/amarkizon2015/fz0pozfz6dg1/wish/305112068 amarkizon2015 https://padlet.com/amarkizon2015/fz0pozfz6dg1/wish/305112523 2018-11-16 03:52:46 UTC https://padlet.com/amarkizon2015/fz0pozfz6dg1/wish/305112523
