[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1460205, member: 32394"] Well yes I suppose being an EU citizen does entitle you to be treated the same as a UK citizen. But bear in mind entitlement to treatment on the NHS is dependent upon residence, not citizenship. So a UK citizen who doesn't actually live in the uk will be charged for NHS treatment just like an eu citizen who can't prove they're ordinarily resident in the uk will be charged for treatment. A patient who isn't a uk resident will get emergency care in the NHS, but they will get charged for it or their government will get charged for it retrospectively. Treatment that isn't emergency treatment is unlikely to be provided to some one not ordinarily resident in the uk without an upfront payment. To be eligible for free treatment on the NHS you need to be a uk resident - you need proof that you have lived there, usually for 12 months. Being a citizen of the EU doesn't change that. [/QUOTE]
