"Contained within the Budget is an amendment proposing that some foreigners in France would have to pay an extra charge to access the country's health system. We break down exactly who this proposal would affect, how much the charge might be and why it has been made in the first place - are American relocation agencies really to blame?"
French MPs continue debating the national budget with new amendments, a vote on pension reform and ongoing uncertainty about government survival until Christmas. An amendment proposes that some foreigners in France pay an extra charge to access the health system, prompting questions about who would be affected, potential costs and the motivations behind the proposal, including scrutiny of relocation agencies. Airbnb's growing presence in towns and cities is leading local authorities to clamp down, with residents expressing varied views.
