So glad to be a dual French-American citizen
I am visiting my mother in October, and I intend to visit her dentist.

I am glad I still have my "Carte Vitale" (that's the Smart Card they give you to swipe at any doctor's office), this awful device of French socialized medicine.

It radiates and pulsates at time, probably the mind controlling device inside.

3. You are lucky!
I am as you are, but came to this country too young to have established much of a relationship with French social services...other than my mother receiving public pension payments for the time she worked in France.

5. Glad I am a duo-child as well. Although mine is Canadian.

So you have dental as well over the pond?

You do know by taking advantage you're removing care from someone who probably needs it far more than you. I'm making assumptions.

6. How is that taking advantage?
And they don't ration health care, so how is it taking from someone more needy?
