That is why in every country that has single payer there are additional coverage plans that allow you to have even better coverage... and it's still cheaper!
See Canada, Australia, England, Germany, Japan... well, basically everywhere else.
What is really amazing is that it also returns Emergency Rooms back into a place where you go in an emergency so you can actually get treatment in 15min rather than wait for a few hours at 3am as you drip blood on the floor through the towel you've wrapped your arm in, and watch in horror as the lady next to you screams and shakes on the floor as she passes kidney stones (yes you would recognize the world renowned hospital where this happened).

No there isn't, unless you go private, speaking of which France has pretty much made private "mutuelle" mandatory.

You have obviously never been in an emergency room in Canada, and I really hope you have not to, ever. My friend got a whiplash injury and got told to go back home, and I had to walk 3 days on a broken foot in Quebec because the ER turned me down (and incidentally asked me to pay CAN$1k to have my foot looked at).
