Moving to France with a health problem

[TonyM]

A permanent move to South West France is being considered however my wife is concerned over health matters. She receives drugs for epilepsy and also had treatment for cancer last year. Her worry is that, whereas she is exempt from prescription payment/treatment in the UK, it would be costly in France with health insurance difficult to obtain against her current health situation. Could anyone advise us on this please, either first hand or point us in the right direction. Many thanks.
