The Health Minister has confirmed that following a leave vote, Brits could lose access to this vital service. The only way to get care in Europe would be to take out costly private insurance.

also says this..

Switzerland and Iceland are just two examples of countries outside the EU that use the EHIC scheme.
It would be outrageous scaremongering to claim British holidaymakers would lose access to European healthcare after we Vote Leave.
It is in the EU's interest to continue the arrangement as the UK has given £5.8billion more to EU countries for medical costs than we've got back.


but oddly.. http://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/Healthcareabroad/countryguide/Pages/EEAcountries.aspx

at present... the following European countries do not accept the EHIC. Ensure you have adequate insurance before you travel.

• The Channel Islands, including Guernsey, Alderney and Sark
• The Isle of Man
• Monaco
• San Marino
• The Vatican

No EHIC card

Works both ways!

 

[sciac2001]

EHIC, whats wrong with health or travel insurance? We always have this and it pays off.

If you have been on an extended European tour and returned home after 6 months or more of travelling and then want to do the same again after, say a month or two back in the uk, no travel health insurance company will cover you for this 2nd trip. Even the "specialists" in extended period travelling do not want to know.
At least, that has been my experience after approaching at least 5 companies.

If anybody knows differently, please advise.

I wonder how people who stay on cruise ships for long holidays one after the other.

 

[vwalan]

cruise ships very often have doctors etc on board . even operating tables on some . they know how to look after you . you dont need insurance .

If they can afford to go on extended cruises - medical expenses probably wouldn't be a problem either !!

Perhaps if you can afford to pay £60k plus on a MoHo medical expenses wouldn't be a problem either.

Just a thought.

I hope this was a joke. We sold our house to buy our van to travel!

This is a question I asked nationwide when I took our a new account Thursday that includes worldwide travel insurance they phoned the insurance while I was in their office and said that it will cover you even if you came back recently, ie, within 6 months.
We have to pay around £90 fora 3 month stay. 30 days is usual.

It was very much tongue in cheek, hence the smilies.

The point I was making is that one can buy an awful lot of cruises for the price of a new mid range motorhome.

If the right agreements are set up I am sure you will notice no difference. Jersey (where I reside) has never been in the EU but we have same privileges/agreements/terms as UK had when you were in EU. This is achieved by means of the formal arrangements governing Jersey’s relationship with the EU – Protocol 3 to the UK Treaty of Accession. Jersey's External Relations Minister has also pointed to potential positives for the UK, suggesting it could profit from an agreement similar to Protocol 3.

The U.K. is in the E.U. for another 2 years at least & has to abide with the existing agreements, as do they, therefore no change in the foreseeable future.

Invoking article 50 is the first step & that hasn't been done yet.

I really do feel sorry for those that like to head for the heat but, nothing is set in stone yet, just enjoy yourselves while you can.

Me to, much rather stay in the good old UK over Winter, even if it lasts all the way through to June.

 

[Jac Sprat]

Maybe a proposed second referendum will avert this after all l

How can we still have it if we leave?

We had it before we joined the EU it was called an E111 then.

There's also the option of taking personal responsibility & purchasing medical insurance.

For some time now I have flown home every 90 days. I keep my boarding pass as proof of same. It is surprising how cheaply you can get flights if booked well enough in advance. It keeps the travel and household insurance sweet. Many dont bother, but I know for a fact they are cracking down on it in Benidorm.

Do you leave your MH when you fly home Snowbird? It was my understanding that the three-month rule applied to vehicles as well though I'm not sure. And before anyone says it, yes I kmow its too big to fit on the plane (unless its a Hercules) ☺

 

[spitfire]

why would u want to come to Europe ? The very place you have voted to leave ?

Nobody voted to leave, or stay in Europe - the vote was to leave the political cesspit that is called the European Union.

Maybe some would, if we were to ever use our MH abroad, we'd happily pay the going rate

I salute you for that response as my opinion is that you cannot cherry pick the things you want or don't want. I have said very little about the referendum because as you can see I live in France and have done so for 12 years with no plans to return but have been deeply saddened to see where the UK is going. We have a friend who is married to a Polish girl with a little daughter . He lives in Derby and works for RR and is dismayed that Derby voted out given the number who work for RR. He is also unhappy about the treatment of his wife too. At the moment my daughter is in the UK and she is now an Australian after 18 years there and says the atmosphere is dreadful and is happy to be heading out tomorrow.

I am not judging anyone for their vote but am no sure they actually thought of the possible outcomes the have emerged. I do hope the UK recovers from this for the sake of my two grandchildren who live there.

Remember there are also many non E.U. '' citizens '' who also visit various European countries too - Australians, Canadians, Americans, South Africans etc - who have never contributed to the E.U. budget from their respective home countries & yet who may use the free aires etc

I agree with you but they have ' never ' contributed and come for short holidays. I am disagreeing with the cherry picking now you ( UK ) have chosen to longer contribute but are happy to use aires for long term use and normally bragging about having weeks of holidays and never paying for a site and deliberately looking for free aires.

I agree with you - that type of freeloading is clearly wrong.

Do remember though the U.K. taxpayer will continue to pay in circa £10 billion ( net ) per annum, until we formally exit in about 2 years time.

I'm sure there will be some sort of reciprocal arrangement sorted out. We can use the free French aires and they can use ours.
