from polipundit.com 10/10 post......oh what fun!!"Thousands of Britons who have taken early retirement and
moved to France are to lose free health care under radical reforms
introduced by France’s new president.
During his election
campaign earlier this year Mr Sarkozy said: “If you think 53 makes you
old enough to retire, then fine, go ahead and retire. But don’t expect the state to pay for it.”
As
a result, thousands of Britons living across France were sent “brutal”
letters last week from the department of social security informing them
that they would no longer be welcomed as non-paying customers of
France’s hugely efficient - and traditionally extremely generous -
national health service.
The letter stated that, under a
change of rules which is due to take effect on Sept 30, any foreign
resident who had retired early would lose their right to free state
health care."
Brits retire at 53? Who knew, but in the end, this is what it comes to in France, finally. It is ready to catch up to Briton and other nations shortly. We will see them fall like dominos!!
