After 5 years of searching for a property in Brittany we finally find one and are about to make an offer. Now we find out that the goalposts are being moved re Health Insurance cover for early retirees to France as from yesterday. Thinking we've overlooked a very important aspect of the move, very few people in the business seem to know about it including immobiliers, several well established websites concerned with "French Life" in all its aspects etc.... Even the DWP in Newcastle admit they're as much in the dark as anyone else and the supposed changes have not been authorised within the Department as yet. No doubt they will come about which will mean "bye-bye" to the dream. Can anyone out there really afford £6000 a year plus for private health cover apart from the top up? Any info gratefully received.
