They come here to use it because it's FREE! Even if they aren't British, not even from the EEC, they get free treatment once they're here(not free actually, our taxes are paying for it).
YOU try getting FREE treatment abroad, even in the EU, you won't get it, if you retire to Spain or other EEC countries you need health insurance.If you're taken ill on holiday it costs you a fortune, even in the EU and you try to use your card(E111?).
Are we MAD? Is there any other country in the world where you can walk into a hospital and get free treatment, wherever you come from?
How much would stopping that save and how much would it cut down waiting lists?
