Olympic’s healthcare is not the same as France’s. Article misleading. As an American tourist in France it would not be free for me.

It isn't free, but it is so much cheaper. My mother got covid in Paris and had some kind of weird allergic reaction in her eye. An emergency visit with an actual doctor and a prescription filled while we waited was...I actually don't remember how much. It was so little it may as well have been free (in the context of a family on an international vacation, not everyday life).

Well it actually is. Special case for the Olympics.

Edit: so yes you wouldn't get it for free as a tourist. Maybe cheaper anyways though.

That's a difference with no distinction in this case
