I try to simplify the issues so they are easily understood, whether it is about France or the USA. My main concern is the absence of clarity, of explanation of what is being done. For once, our Parliament is doing something constructive, trying to fix a situation everybody agrees is flawed while caring about the people who would be negatively impacted by any solution they implement.

Thank you so much for bringing some clarity to the heated discussion of whether to charge VLS-TS visiteur holders for participation in the healthcare system. I now hold one of those visas, though I have not yet received my first French tax bill and thus do not know whether I will be levied for participation. But I know I speak for *many* US-originating migrants when I say that I would be happy to pay. I came to France out of a love for its values, and that includes its respect for the health of all its residents. Who would not want to support such a goal?
