Long overdue IMHO...go to many countries abroad and the first thing you are asked for is your insurance cover note.
I foresee the number of emergency admissions rising to astronomical levels.
Quote:
Migrants and overseas visitors are to face new charges for some NHS services in England, ministers say.
They include extended prescription fees, the introduction of charges for some emergency care and higher rates for optical and dental services.
However, GP and nurse consultations will remain free, and nobody will be turned away in an emergency.
