Not sure people always recognise that paying French Social Charges is unconnected with health care provision - it's just another form of taxation, aimed at reducing the French welfare debt. I'd be towards the front of the queue appealing an incorrect charge; and yes, it must be very worrying to have that to face.
Makes me want to remind people about Help in Quercy, the very flexible assistance service offered by our young friend Emmanuelle Dangé Manella from Puylaroque.
