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
