I'm married to a French citizen. We are moving to France next year. Am I covered by the national system?

Since by virtue of your marriage to a citizen, you are a citizen - logic would say the answer is yes. Not being in your fortunate situation, I have not had to apply -- but again, logic says you'd just have to apply and submit proof such as marriage license. I suspect (but can't swear) that you also will have to submit proof of 3 months' residence in France. That's what I'll do if and when I want French insurance. Note that citizens also purchase supplementary health insurance from companies called Mutuelles. Logic would say you will do this as a couple.

My daughter, American, married a French man. She is covered by the insurance but I am not sure what the procedure was for getting her health card. She had coverage previous to this as a student.

There is no such thing like automatically getting French citizenship by "the virtue" of marriage to a French citizen unless French law has changed recently. Where did you get such information ellenyparis? Can you quote your source?

I won't be a french citizen, that's another procedure entirely. I believe I will have a carte de sejour. First I have to get a Visa through the consulate. I hope I am covered by the french health care system.

And I should also clarify that my daughter has not changed her citizenship. She is still considered an American citizen. I don't know if dual citizenship is even available. But I feel certain that French citizenship is NOT automatically bestowed based upon marriage.

If your husband is covered then you will be covered under his carte "vitale"
