So that's a bilateral agreement with Spain, that works both ways.



They've passed EU rules already. No different to currently, what would happen under a customs union or if we remained.

The UK has already signed bilateral agreements with Spain, Portugal and Luxembourg to guarantee local voting and candidacy rights for UK nationals in those states. Together, these three voting rights treaties protect the rights of a third of UK nationals living in EU Member States.
It seems deals can be done, as long as it doesn't involve the EU or Ireland.
The three countries mentioned are in the EU, and Spain and Ireland have interim agreement re health care.

Quote:
The UK and Spain have also taken steps to ensure that people living in each country can continue to access healthcare as they do now until at least 31 December 2020.

The government has made it very clear that it wants EHIC to continue, deal or no deal.

But so far, only Spain has agreed to that.

Portugal says it won't carry on with the scheme if there is a no-deal Brexit. But it has passed a law saying that UK tourists can still get healthcare as before, for now, if they show their passport.
There is a similar agreement with Ireland, too.
