Russethouse Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 And where would that leave the chronically sick ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Still sick, and a little poorer. Presumably there would be special provision for them, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomoss Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 [quote user="pachapapa"] The germans are considering changing the current € 10 per quarter health levy regardless of number of visits to the doctor to a system reflecting actual utilisation at € 5 per visit. Much less than the current french charge of € 23 per visit.[/quote]I'm sure the german charges you quote are those for people in the system, not for someone visiting the country. On the same basis, l'Assurance Maladie refunds 70% of the charge in France, and charges a 1€ forfait, so the actual current charge is 7€90 per visit.The charge in Spain is currently zero, one just presents a card to get free treatment. No forms to complete, no claims and forfaits circulating in a bureaucratic papermill.We sometimes regret the move from Spain to France, made mainly to get away from the tourist crowds which ruined Mallorca during the 25 years we lived there.

Pommier Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 [quote user="5-element"]As a Franco-British national, I am getting a little disturbed by some of the more obvious jingoism that has quickly emerged on this thread. It's very sad how fast this happens.[:(][/quote]I agree with you - I don't like the attitude of boosting up one place by denigrating another, and, if some people think that Britain is so much better, what are they doing in France?

If under retirement age you had to pay something like 250 Euros a month per family, this has reduced, so they tell me, to about 200 Euros in recent months.
