The government have previously proposed a series of measures to achieve a greater level of equality across the country, but the issue was not raised during the recent negotiations on fees. The French National Insurance is quite different from the National Health Service, NHS, in the UK. So If you are only receiving a UK state pension and wish to retire in France, you need to fill the form E106, only for people who won't work in France, that will cover your medical expenses in France (or any other member state) by affiliation to its national health service. By asking this form to your DWP, Department of Work and Pensions, you should be able to get the French National Insurance coverage with green card with a microchip in. https://frenchmart.fr/
