Hi, I was recently  reading about monthly costs of living in this region.  I noted that lots of people paid monthly for healthcare.  Do you pay this because you aren't resident? Do you pay it to subsidise the Spanish healthcare  system? My husband is type1 diabetic and we recently found out his insulin is  €96 and €76 to purchase in Spain and a further €76 for test strips. While researching moving to Spain, we have provisionally been quoted €2450 each for healthcare insurance in Spain which is expensive to say the least. Any advice gratefully received.

You need to have private health care to qualify for residencia which you need to live here. You can access the Spanish system through an S1 form if you are in receipt of UK state pension or are working and paying into the Spanish system.

There is lots of up to date info on CAB Spain website.

Thank you, I'll do some more research.  My husband has been type 1 diabetic for 39 years, it's surprising what we take for granted with the NHS. Thanks again.
