Billions of pounds each year must be lost in this way......these people are called 'health tourists'.

Unbelievable ... that is just plain stoopid ... anyone visiting here better have insurance, or, if you need to be rushed to hospital, you will find yourself paying $850.00 for the ambulance ... and that's only the beginning of the bill. Health care for Ontarians is payed for out of our taxes. It's free for us. Everyone else pays full price. The NHS should be for citizens of Great Britain ... everyone else, including EU folks, should pay ... or their insurance company should.
