They do anyway, so it’s not exactly a massive policy change...? All EU countries apply to the country of origin to be reimbursed for health care.

I’m assuming the nhs won’t cover retired ehh citizens in Britain afterwards either, which would be fair.

This headline is extremely misleading. It applies only to people who have started treatment (or applied for it) before exit. I inferred that any new illness will not be paid for. Am I wrong? What of people currently in good health?

As long as the eu pays for theirs here that’s fine

We already do pay so why is this news?

I guess that will just come out of the £350 million a week extra funding that will be going to the NHS when we leave the EU. Simples.

But most pensioners hope to live for more than 12 months! What happens next? The minister expects not to be office by then.

For those there now or even those that move after Brexit

The ever-expanding fallout of stupid decisions.

Why of competing demands on the UK Taxpayers is the health care costs of expats considered important?

And if they returned to the UK, the UK would pay the cost, big deal, what is trying to be said here?

Flights between UK and EU WILL continue despite Brexit chaos European Parliament confirmsFLIGHTS between the UK and EU will continue to operate despite the current Brexit chaos, the European Parliament has confirmed. As UK MPs in the House of Commons voted to rule out a no deal Brexit under any circumstance on Wednesday, those in the European legal body gave the thumbs up to UK-based flights continuing – as well as the removal of a flight cap. And this again shows EU's generosity, not UK parliament's efficiency.

UK to ask EU for Brexit delay until at least JuneMPs have voted in favour of delaying Brexit until at least June in a move that will see Theresa May ask Brussels to postpone Britain's departure from the EU. The Commons divided 412 to 202 in favour haha. This is a joke now. May's deal will not win. Not sure if EU will extend either. So we take part in the European parliament elections after all.
