Clair Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Hi Jalan and welcome to the forum.Can you say what's in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolly daydream Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 The front page headline states categorically that 'healthcare ban will NOT be retrospective' 'u-turn follows talks with British Embassy'. It goes on to say we will all get our cover back but those whose E106 are about to run out will not get entry in to the French system and will need private insurance as will new arrivals. Can we now breath again or not. I await my CPAM letter with my new attestation before I believe it. Lets hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Gosh, let's hope it's true. The British Embassy haven't changed anything on their site though [:(]http://www.britishembassy.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/ShowPage&c=Page&cid=1059132495834 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalan Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 I suspect that the announcement will probably be made by the French government w/c 26/11/07. I urge people to wait for that but it appears that The Connexion have a "source" and are making best use of their knowledge for the benefit of their paper. I wouln't blame them for that.

jalan Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 Clair Many pages are devoted to it and my understanding (the whole statement is very clear) is that IF you are in the system as at end of November 07 then you remain in the system. If not then you're unlucky. My interest is mainly as an "inactif retired" below age qualification for the E121 with illnesses to both my wife and I (diagnosed after arrival in France) that are uninsurable.There is also an interesting article on "Dependencies" when one family member reaches E121 qualification.

[...] [/quote]Jalan,Your post simply says "read the December issue of Connexion". t would have been simpler if you had given a reason for it.As things stands, until the Sécurité Sociale department make an official announcement, nothing has changed.

jalan Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 ClaireIt may have been simpler if I had said nothing at all. I didn't want to interpret the article as I've seen enough of that on various websites and I have urged people to wait for officialdom. I only decided to answer you because of another explanatory Email. and of course because you asked the question.I hope the article proves to be true and that those people in need of serious medical attention can continue to benefit from a truly wondzrful heath service.

Glyn Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I think the Connexion article is just a rehash of the rumours that were hinted at about 2 weeks ago and which they have decided to print as fact.As Claire said, I think I would wait until there is some official statement before opening the champagne! And even then I am not sure I would believe them[;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerfeet Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I would say you can not believe everything in connexion , in the November issue page 39 they stated "November 15 deadline for taxe d`habitation" , but I have mine in front of me and the deadline is 17 th December.Small detail I know, but it proves a point.

Keith CHANNING Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Nothing received here yet. Mind you, I have never had a CV, so I still have to pay upfront for my regular medication and claim it back.BTW, does anyone know what constitutes a pre-existent condition? I don't have anything I would consider immediately serious, but do have regular medication for hypertension, cholesterol and enlarged prostate.

Tony F Dordogne Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Keith, you already have them - it's pre-existing, you have it before the commencement of any new health insurance policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have anything I would consider immediately serious, but do have regular medication for hypertension, cholesterol and enlarged prostate.[/quote]As I understand it Keith....ALL of these conditions would be classified as 'pre-existing', and would therefore in all likelihood be EXCLUDED from any PHI you might be able to get.Also any subsequent conditions you might get as a result of having these conditions, i.e heart attack/stroke etc (if the doctors, or your PHI provider, believe that your current conditions have lead/contributed to you developing the new conditions) the list goes on.........sorry, not what you wanted to hear I know![:(]However, there are unsubstantiated murmerings that there 'may be some concessions' for people with pre-exisitings.............we wait, and wait, and wait.............[:@] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith CHANNING Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Thanks ebaynut. Not what I wanted to hear but what I fully expected to hear!As you say, we wait. No rush - shan't need to know for at least five weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
