Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostYou are saying that Medicare, Medicaid and Veterans Health are only for the elderly. Which is incorrect.Medicare provides health insurance for Americans aged 65 and older who have worked and paid into the system through the payroll tax. It also provides health insurance to younger people with some disabilities status as determined by the Social Security Administration, as well as people with end stage renal disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.Medicaid in the United States is a social health care program for families and individuals with limited resources

Originally posted by woohoo View PostMy understanding is if an expat in Spain uses their medical services then the Spanish hospital claims the cost back from the UK.
I'm not sure of other countries arrangements but seems like we still pay for expats now.
Switzerland is not from EU but has a bilateral agreement with some countries and you can use your Health card if you travel to Switzerland.Comment

As soon as you are resident (after 90 days or when you become a worker or student or self-sufficient) you fall into the local system an pay either by deductions per NI in UK or by deductions, pay at the door and private cover like here in Ireland!

Originally posted by VectraMan View PostWHS. By definition an expat is there permanently and therefore isn't covered. But retired UK expats are covered, at least mostly, by the UK state (as much as a local would be), but if you're working age you'll have to have full insurance one way or other. The government could promise to keep doing that now without any change to any agreement with anyone else; they're simply guaranteeing health care for British citizens who've paid for it with taxes for decades. But they won't."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
