We will also need to move on from the motion that the NHS is the best thing in the world. It's great but it ain't the best and that includes a few countries in Europe

Those coming from the EU (or are here legally from elsewhere) are entitled to the same healthcare as us regardless of any contribution.
In turn, we are able to use any of their health facilities just as a local can in any other EU country.
The problem is that in the EU countries I've visited, their healthcare system is inadequate and I've had to pay for private insurance.
Out of interest, which countries have a better system than ours, would be a lot cheaper* for me to go there!
* Because of existing illness/disabilities my holiday insurance is Sky high
