"Just" $35.

What a hilarious statement, I think I pay around €2 for a doctor's visit.

    That's because you live in a place with single payer. In the US, a $35 flat rate can save a lot of lives for people who have no options.

    In France the cost for a doctor's visit is 26€. 18.55€ is reimbursed by the public health care insurance and the rest is generally reimbursed by private insurance.

    There is a big debate right now because the doctor's unions want the cost of the visit to go up to 30€ !
