A few comments, which are based on presumptions by me:
- She needs to be habitually resident in France to get free healthcare, even in emergencies whilst no payment is taken you must often pay the fess afterwards.
- She never paid taxes in France so it’s not good to use their healthcare system: if she moved to France in good faith then immediately had a health problem, that’s a different situation
- Honestly if this is someone’s only way to access healthcare (not about saving money alone), I have no problem with it as a human being it is the logical thing to do.
- France is not a cheap healthcare destination (on a private basis) at all
I had very cheap compulsory medical insurance several years ago when I was living in Malaysia. I was hospitalised for a few days at most. It was a private hospital with nurses outnumbering patients, excellent food, very skilled workers and the policy must have cost me less than 1,000 RMB a year
