Well, there's always the twisted take on it...
It's not a new rule.
Expat = immigrant.
It's the will of the Wailers, remember?

And some people believed the Brexit lies
And some people believed the Brexit lies
Reasons to leave the EU, objections answered and alternatives |
Objection 11: British expats living in EU countries and EU citizens living in the UK would lose out
This claim is not grounded in legal fact, as the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties 1969 contains articles that are based on ‘acquired rights’, which individuals build up over time and hold despite any changes in future treaties enacted by their nation.
The cost of healthcare abroad is provided by the NHS not the EU as some people mistakenly believe. So this is not an issue either.
For more details see Emigration: Why British expats have nothing to fear from Brexit
Objection 12: Loss of freedom of movement of people between UK and other EU states
Obviously this is of particular concern to UK citizens living in other EU states, or those who desire to live in other EU states, for example students and pensioners.
However, it is possible that the UK would join EFTA and remain in the EEA or have an implementation period, after leaving the EU. All EFTA countries have the same freedom of movement rules as EU countries. Assuming the UK remains in the EEA, freedom of movement would be unaffected.
Even if the UK does not remain in the EEA following Brexit, or uses this as a stepping stone to later full UK independence (with trading agreements with the EU), it is entirely possible that the UK could negotiate free trade with the UK which may include a freedom of movement agreement with the EU, as Switzerland has done.

Say my private insurance costs me 300-400 per month, a lot less than car insurance which is kind of telling that I should not expect much (from both)
