French health reform plans

THE impact of changes to the French health system on people heading to France who are under retirement age is beginning to look a little clearer.

The Daily Telegraph reports that for those currently in the system they will be able to remain in it, the tougher rules will apply to non-working foreigners, such as early retirees, who move to France after the end of this month.

The Sécurité Sociale website provides a more complete explanation, in French, with point number four highlighting the changes for those set to arrive in France.

    Hi Craig,
    The note on the front of the British Embassy (in Paris) website – see http://tinyurl.com/2rd3qq – reflects the same view as that of the Sécurité Sociale referenced above.
    regards,
