BRITISH early retirees who move to France may have to take out private health insurance from the moment they arrive - after the UK government announced today that it would stop paying their healthcare costs.
The UK Department of Health says the changes will come into effect "probably from April 2014" and follow a consultation this summer aimed at finding ways to save the National Health Service money.
Val says It may be worth reading the full article in the Connexion. What is annoying about this, is if these expats had stayed in England the Health Service would automatically cover the costs of their healthcare, and so they would have had these costs anyway.
Malc makes a valid point that maybe the people would have been paying tax in England to off set costs.
