Granted, No access to free healthcare for commuters, which is understandable and indeed normal as you don't contribute to any social payments. As for those retiring in France, shouldn't their foreign pensions be declared to the French Tax Office and taxed? I haven't heard of anyone having access to free healthcare without participating in one way or another to social payments (for the record, even your unemployment benefits are taxed...) those who are dispensed with social payments are those who are in great destitution or asylum seekers...
