I've written to the MD's of Ryanair and the big three DIY Warehouse Chains stressing not just the impact with an mass exodus but also the implications of a reduced disposable income for the many who stay. You never know who they have dinner with. Its only stamps and ink ! We've had in excess of 35 flights this year with us going back and forward and family / guests in and out of Limoges. Multiple that by everyone affected ? Joshua If you walk with your head down, you can count every step you take !    Report

Apparently, this was opposed by 70% of the population, there have been demonstrations throughout France and opposition from the unions but yesterday the députés (UMP)approved it. Now I am not sure it is in itself a bad thing but I just wanted to highlight the fact that the government didn't seem to take much notice of any opposition.  http://www.lemonde.fr/web/article/0,1-0,36-971839,0.html It's not dark yet ......but it's getting there.    Report

The recent raft of postings seem to be taking this forum away from Factual information & into the realm of speculation, some of which seem to only cause additional worry & distress. Everyones situatuation will be to some extent unique, & it will be up to each person to decide the best course of action for themselves My main concern is that any items of hard fact could be missed amongst the masses of postings so I propose to start a new thread called: THE LATEST FACTS ABOUT THE HEALTHCARE REFORMS By all means have agood rant on the other threads, it does us all good sometimes but only post hard news on this new one. I hope you all understand my reasons & concerns    Report

There is already a sticky, at the head of the health changes forum, dedicated to the hard facts, The Story so Far http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/1035025/ShowPost.aspx As far as I know it is up to date (although Cooperlola has promised to take another look at it, as she is the one feeding me the information ). There have been several threads started before about "hard facts", which have gradually turned into speculation and discussion, which is why Cooperlola requested that we make the Story so Far a sticky, which is locked. If we've missed any changes, decisions or legislation let me know by PM and I will update the sticky. Thanks Cathy Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.    Report

At the time the comments were written, there was a lot of speculation and conjecture because nobody knew what effects Sarkozy's desired health reforms might have on non-French nationals. Since then things have developed considerably, with the effect that anybody who was French resident before 23 November 2007 is not likely to be disadvantaged. Others, who took up residence after that date, will have to take out private health assurance unless they qualify to join the French system by virtue of taking up work and paying in to the system, by acquiring resident status through being legally in France for five years, or through an E121 form issued to those over state retirement age. The current situation is fully outlined on the www.frenchhealthissues.eu web site. Will intentionally blank signature http://www.vienormande.com    Report
