"Healthcare and health insurance in Lyon are generally considered to be quite expensive. Public health care services are provided and subsidized by the French government, but cost-sharing measures such as copayments and coinsurance may be required for some services. Private health insurance can be also purchased, and while this can provide more comprehensive and personalized coverage, it may be expensive as well. Many employers and unions provide group health insurance plans with discounted rates, and residents may be eligible for public health insurance programs," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Lyon, France.
