Guern

Can anyone advise us. We are a couple aged 66 and 73 respectivly, will we be able to get Health cover in France We bought a house in france last year, But so far we have only lived in it for two weeks We knew we would have to pay for Health cover,but reading your posts we are getting increasingly worried,as my Husband is a diabetic on pills no injections. I had open Heart Surgery in 1993 and have an artificial aortic valve for which I take warfarin regularely and also attend a clinic for blood tests for the rest of my life. In April of this year I was diagnosed with Cancer of the bladder and I am being treated for this at the moment. We do not intend to live in France until the doctors say its OK to do so, I will need to be monitered for quite a long time so it will be necessary to be in their Health Scheme before we live there. We now live in the Guernsey CI but lived in the UK some years ago we have national insurance numbers and both recieve a small UK pension. As we will be living on our Guernsey pension We are not rich people, we are now wondering if we made a mistake in buying in France, as much as we would love to live there, not realising that Health cover was expensive We do pay for Medical care in Guernsey . Would appreciate any information you can give us on cost and what cover we could get. Hope the lady who is ill is getting better, not a good time to be worried about costs! Hope someone can help Helen
