Now retired, how is my Assurance Maladie paid for?

I have just been consulting the posts on completing my Declaration Revenus 2020.
I see we can be surcharged for our Assurance Maladie? Is that right?
I've lived and worked here for 10 years and have just retired and started my UK Pension and have small French Retraite + the Complementaire.
How in fact is my Assurance Maladie now paid for that I am no longer working?
I have a Mutuelle also.

If you have a French Pension France is responsible for paying for your health care, not the UK, even if the French pension is smaller than the UK one.

On the downside this means that you could be liable to pay for the various social charges levied on French pensioners, but they only apply over a certain income

Most  retired posters here will have an S1 from the UK which entitles them to cover, but this is not your case as you are covered by France and next year your tax declaration should reflect that.

The Mutuelle is something separate again.

Thanks NormanH
Yes my French Retraite is only €200 per month but that puts my mind at rest I'm covered for the Assurance Maladie.
So with no other incomes than pensions, hopefully I won't be in line for social charges.
Thanks for the link, I hadn't seen that before, I'll have a good read of it.
