    No. No. No.

    The EHIC card only gives you the same rights as a citizen of the EU country you are visiting for immediate and clinically necessary treatment. There is a co-pay in many countries. And mostly only 50% of pharmacy bills are refunded after an agonising crawl with the DWP.

    Any preplanned or routine surgery has to be pre-approved by the NHS before you leave.

    Why do you think there is so much medical tourism in the UK from EU state members?

    I mean if we leave, everything is just going to instantly explode and kill us isn't it?
    Yeah. Terrorism, Market Collapse, Loss of jobs, something scary, something else scary.

    The whole tactic is exactly the same as the EEC ref of 75 except Labour aren't the Eurosceptics this time and a kiddie fiddler isn't running the in campaign.

    Better than hearing it with a Dick Van Dyke Mary Poppins accent re: "Brexit"

    I expect you'll see a lot of former friends and neighbours wanting to be sure there's no "health tourism" from moany Brits after they leave...
