For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.One of the many items that needs to discussed in the run up to the Referendum, is how our ex-pats will be affected by Britain leaving the EU.
Will they be entitled to free health care, as they are at the moment ?
After all, there are plenty of people here, that would like to deprive all foreigners of free treatment in our NHS, so it would follow that they would agree to Brits having the same situation applied to them, when they are in Spain for instance !
But although this is an important issue, I will expect that the arguments about staying or leaving the EU will descend into the usual drivel about warm beer, cricket and wasn't the Queen Mother wonderful. It will be decided by petty affairs, not the really important ones. Emotions, not facts will decide the day.
We need these important questions debated and answered, but as our Press is overwhelmingly right-wing, its unlikely that we will be given the plain facts to make our minds up, just more propaganda.

Ex Pats, despite paying taxes and NI for years and years are only entitled to free EMERGENCY health care and only if they have a European Health Card and are treated as "foreigners. The fact that the NHS cannot be bothered to bill them for health care when returning to the UK is just poor management.

Morning Sqad ! I trust you are making a good recovery and playing your poor Missus up too much !
As you have just had treatment under the Spanish system, did you have to pay ? I don't want to pry into your personal affairs but I am unsure how it works over there.
If Britain were to leave the EU, what, apart from Emergency care, would you be able to access ?

// I was thinking the contingency plans for the arrival of the Ugandan Asians must be gathering dust on a Home Office shelf somewhere. //
I dont think there were any
considering the nature of govt at that time ( 1972 )
The main Asian cities advertised ( Leicester and s/w else ) in the press please dont come here... The cost of resettlement was minimal since basically it was the Ugandan mmiddle class. Devastated the Ugandan economy tho - as night be expected - Amin was warned and said he was gonna do it anyway
Most of them went to their near relations
see: http:// compaso xfordbl og.co.u k/2012/ 08/four -decade s-after -the-ex pulsion -of-uga ndan-as ians/
The cost to the Treasury of the repatriation of displaced ZImbabweans ( previously known as white settlers ) has been nil

Britain would presumably remain in the EEA.
Isn't going to happen anyway. If Britain does leave the EU the UK as it currently is would almost certainly soon cease to exist. There are so many imponderables and so many issues that would probably be subject to new arrangements that discussion here can probably be no more than speculation

It seems to refer to "emergency treatment" but it is less clear when it comes to treatment of a chronic or long-term condition.

PP...well lets stay on topic shall we !
If Britain were to leave the EU, can we expect a lots of our ex-pats to return home ? If their health care is an issue for them, then yes, I would expect some to return home, at least. I know people that have effectively moved to America but come back every so often to get their teeth done.
