"too good to be true"

My shorthand take.

A while ago the rules were changed so as to ensure that EU citizens were not able to move to France unless they were either employed or had private health insurance.

In another part of the forest Nicholas was trying to make the system more flexible so that it was easier for people to take on second jobs, or even set up new businesses. Hence the auto-entrepreneur was born .  The big idea is that if you are starting out , and so not making any significant profits, there is no minimum contribution required.

This was never intended for new arrivals , it was intended for people who were already in the system one way or another.

Look at it this way.

Under the old system, which  was thought to be too attractive, inactifs were required to pay contributions of 8% on a major part of their declared income.

Under the new system people believe that if they set up a business selling old copies of the Beano on Ebay but unfortunately due to market conditions  they only sell 50 euros worth per year, then for 10 Euros worth of contributions they are going to be given the key to the French health system....................... Too good to be true?????

Thank you BJSLIV, I can think of nothing to add to that except perhaps suggest that it also be read in response to shablwe's post in another thread
