It is unlikely we will find work there. So, as I understand it, we will not qualify for healthcare from the Spanish health service,because we are both under the retirement age of 65 for men and 60 for women, even though in the uk we both get free prescriptions etc. Can anyone living in Spain tell me what the local rates for health insurance are, or what would you advise would be the most affordable way to get health cover.We have been quoted by UK Insurance companies anything between £250 to £300 per month as private medical insurance.
Thanks you in advance,
Jeff.
