the info can be found here/

http://www.abacoconnect.com/articles...-reimbursement

From what I can read and my understanding only people of penison age pay 10 percent, all under pension age pay a sliding scale, I will now pay 50 percent.

Not that I am ever ill, but I dont see how foreign under pension ages only pay 10 percent, have the British government decided to pay the difference for its citizens, so that in effect the SS gets the same amount for their presectiptions?

From what I read you must be a pensioner, if you only pay 10 percent

There are many many ways that this is so not true.

The point is simply that that is the way he and a couple of others on here always speaks to me, and you know it.

He quite often tells me how little I know about Spain.

If I'm not allowed to answer them back in the same way as they talk to me you best close my account,

I asked you to explain in what way in so many ways it was not true, not to complain about another poster who general responds to your jibes
If you dont want to, then dont, but please return to topic

Are you asking me to close your account?

Here's a good article in English explaining how prescription charges for pensioners works.

http://iberosphere.com/2012/07/disen...t-process/6542

Pensioners with an income below €18,000 pay 10% toward the cost up to a maximum of €8 per month.

Pensioners with an income above €18,000 but below €100,000 pay 10% toward the cost up to a maximum of €18 per month.

Pensioners with an income above €100,000 pay 10% toward the cost up to a maximum of €60 per month.

Non-pensioners with an income below €18,000 pay 40% toward the cost with no maximum.

Non-pensioners with an income above €18,000 but below €100,000 pay 50% toward the cost with no maximum.

Non-pensioners with an income above €100,000 pay 60% toward the cost with no maximum.

Your income is established through your annual resident tax declaration (IRPF). If you haven’t made one of these you will always be charged a set percentage and will not be eligible for any reimbursement once your maximum payment has been reached.

T hat is what I heard, that only pensioners got away wit paying 10 percent, but I was told otherwise by another poster whe claimed not to be a pensioner, but only paid 10% for prescriptions that I was wrong.

As a worker the 10 does not apply to me anyway, but if tere was a legal way, ten it might ave been good info.

I think in some communities e.g. Andalucia you can still get the low rate if your income is below a certain amount, you have to apply for "sin recursos".
