If it wasn’t obvious I was being sarcastic.

1) Seeing as it is FACT that there's a large amount of non-EU health tourism, doesn't seem unreasonable to suppose there might be some that is EU based.
Quote:
A LEADING cancer specialist believes one in every 20 patients he treated as a consultant at London’s Royal Marsden Hospital was a health tourist.
...
One estimate shows only about 16 per cent of charges due from overseas visitors are ever recovered.
2) The NHS isn't that bothered about recovering costs from the EU or anywhere else for that matter.
Quote:
But all this debate has certainly focused on just how ineffective the NHS is at reclaiming costs and so the extra visa levy and new tweaks to the rules are all designed to try and encourage better efforts to recover money spent on foreigners
3) The newer rules for ex-pats appear to have only come in a little over a year ago(Oct 2017).


EU report on Health tourism
Quote:
For international tourism, the EU28 is still by far the most visited region in the world, with
40% of all global international arrivals.
The proportions of EU residents travelling to another EU country for treatment.
Quote:
International departure shares range from below 12% in Romania, Spain, Portugal and France, to above
60% in Belgium and Malta, and 95% in Luxembourg.
Quote:
The UK, Italy, Germany, Belgium and Croatia were the most frequently involved
countries in the case studies we identified for health tourism.

What if I already have a residual S1?
If you already have a residual S1, this will not affect you – it will continue to be valid until its original expiry date.

And I know quite a few retirees (ex-colleagues of my wife) who live in Spain, but come back to the UK every 6-12 months for dentists and doctors (they give their children’s address as their U.K. residential address, and don’t mention that they live in Spain).

The problem is that Brexiters on TV assume the same border arrangements exist for lorries as they do for everyone else I think. I saw one of them cite the Swiss border would be easy but they were talking about driving though it as a visitor, goods have a special line IIRC. I dunno, no expert on Swiss customs checks

Re: Brexit

BREAKING: Bad news for Cooper/Boles Amendment that calls on Government to extend Article 50. Around 30 Labour MPs will either abstain or vote against it, some on the frontbench. A source close to Sun Political Editor, Tom Newton-Dunn tells him this evening.

Nonsense, you even provided links from the net to try and rubbish what I was saying. I said that (unless exempt) pensioners have to pay into the Spanish system for healthcare. You replied that I was being disingenuous because most would be exempt because they were in receipt of a British retirement pension.

...but that pertains to the existing agreements before Brexit.
