As a general guide you will be required to contribute around 8% of your net annual income over a threshold of 42000FF (6,402.86 ),to the health system. A married couple will have a higher threshold. You will also need to buy a "mutuelle" top up policy to cover you for the 30% shortfall the CMU gives you. It does depend on your status and wether you intend to work. If your income level is below this, then you may not be required to contribute but you will have to state your case at your local CPAM office, who will give you an interview and let you know your entitlements. You may be eligible for up to two years free cover on an E106. The DHSS have lots of info and will provide you with a booklet explaining your rights.
