Perscriptions are not free even for pensioners diabetes medication you pay 10 percent of the cost and other medication you pay 40% so can work out expensive. Pensioners pay 10% Are you intending to work ? If so your employer has to give you a work contract and health care is covered My husband had his own business so we had to pay the social security ourselves which for a married couple was just under 300 euros a month . The health care is very good no long waits for appointments etc. which I have found hard to get used to on our return to the UK. We have considered going back but with the uncertainty of Brexit we have decided to wait and see . Good luck !</blockquote>
