Healthcare update : breakthrough for early retirees |
Friday, 25 January 2008 |
Health Minister concedes access to healthcare for inactive EU nationals already resident before November 23, 2007.
The French government has gone back on its previous ruling in December, whereby holders of the E106 after their card expired were excluded from access to state healthcover.
This is good news for those early retirees who are entitled to healthcover for a fixed term under the EU healthcard E106 and who would have found it expensive, difficult, or impossible, if they had a serious or pre-existing medical condition, to get private healthcover at all. For some it meant a return to their country of origin; for others, this was out of the question financially. Worse still were those scheduled for a life-saving operation after they were excluded from health cover by the previous government ruling in December.
