However with all the reforms it won't last long.... A total misrepresentation of the facts by Norman. He obviously knows little about the charges paid by "well off Brits" into the CMU, the difference between the CMU, CRDS and CSG, the way it is charged, who pays it and when. Possession of an E form only exempts you from paying 0.5% CRDS on your earned income or pension, because it is illegal for the French to to claim this from people whose healthcare is paid for by the UK, but those people are still liable to pay contributions sociale at a hefty 11% on any unearned income, like savings interest and rent income. Yet another French scandal unravelled? Why not just post a sensible answer, people will appreciate it more    Report

People with "unearned income, like savings interest and rent income" qualify as 'well-off' in my book. And if they have an E121 they are not paying into the CMU....    Report
