Hello! I am a new member. I am an American who is of retirement age and am interested in exploring the possibility of retiring to France with my wife who is from China My mother (unfortunately deceased) was French but because she came here very young and did not do the correct paperwork, I can't get automatic citizenship. I did retain a lot of the language from two trips to France as a young child.
My question is about healthcare. Although I paid into medicare my whole life it doesn't cover me outside the US. In reading various forums I read conflicting advice about whether or not an american or other non EU person can qualify under the new PUMA helthcare law if he is over 65 years old. Some people say yes, some people say no. I am sure, though that there are expats who are over 65 and have arrived in France after 2016 (which is when they changed PUMA) who can answer my question.
thank you so much
Paul
