        Idiots! The E111 will only get you initial emergency care. After which you are on your own. Been there and thankful for insurance.

        Fools. I blame their parents/guardians for not stressing the importance of insurance. Apple and tree comes to mind.

        First thing I make sure my son has when he has mentioned going abroad, so scary to think that many don't bother

        Because were going to stop being part of Europe? We're going to push ourselves out into the Atlantic?

        Because it's an agreement between EEA states - we won't be one post Brexit. Alternative needed - or a new agreement to continue.

        We need one now. In 2015 the NHS paid out £674,000,000 and received £49,000,000 under the EHIC scheme.

        We just don't claim it back. The NHS isn't geared up to charge for treatment.
