That's my whole point, PappaJohn, exclusive healthcare WILL cover existing conditions.
Originally set-up as an English-speaking top-up insurance company for those living in France, they extended their cover last year to give holiday insurance too. I use them for my parents now. Previous years, Saga would cover them, but it cost somewhere around 600 quid for a fortnight ... now they won't cover oldies (only people up to something like 65 or 70).
Exclusive WILL. My dad has unstable heart conditions, high BP, angina, early stages of dementia, etc etc, and is 84. Mum is OK, just high-ish BP and is registered blind. Last year's cover for THREE weeks was less than 100 quid from what I remember. Huge difference, and no reading out long lists of drugs etc.
French top-up insurance (which is what you need really, as you already have the EHIC - new-style E111) is not allowed to ask about existing conditions, it has to cover you for everything. Various packages available, as with most cover firms.
Get online and have a look.
