Not at all.  They claimed what changed was setting up the companies to be more competitive with each other.  Socialized healthcare, and other saftey nets prevent French buisnesses from doing this since you can't cut people like crazy due to the ridiculious amount of paperwork involved to make the system work.

My arguement was simply that the US has the most productive workers, so to claim that socialized healthcare makes workers more productive is obviously unfounded.

Of which is something you couldn't really argue.

If you aren't going by productivity why do you think socialized healthcare makes workers more productive? 

France had those same safety nets and socialized healthcare in 2000 when they were more productive that the United States.

The article said that the United States is more organized and competitive now.  I have no reason to doubt that, but what did the United States and France change that made this so.

Which still defeats your point.

You have no basis for your healthcare arguement.

I'm not claiming anything outside the fact that you may be wrong because you aren't actually basing your belief on anything.
