FranceHow much is healthcare in France?
Your contributions to the French health care system will be determined by your individual situation. If you are working, then part of your salary (8%) will be deducted from your salary, and as a patient you'll be expected to pay anywhere from 20%-30% of medical costs depending on whether you're at a doctors office or a hospital. It is not a "free" system.
