French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday unveiled plans to make France's health care system, considered one of the best in the world, more efficient and sustainable for the next 50 years. Macron said "a lot of our neighbors envy the excellence of our health care system. Hospitals will be classified into in three categories: local health care, specialized care and ultra-specialized care — each focusing on its priorities, to optimize patient care. "A health care system that prevents and protects against today's and tomorrow's health risks." France's health care system involves a state-funded health insurance that reimburses patients for most medical interventions and medicines prescribed by a doctor.
