Woolfe: WTF...?

That's means we might be entering a lean period where surplus money is not available for home grown chav dole scroungers and they might actually have to go out and find a job.
Then less foreigners will be needed. A win win situation

If Ian Duncan Smith had stayed, then that might well have happened, but not with Damian Green in charge.

Gosh you are naïve.

Don't think so, we have a reciprocal agreement with EU countries via the E111 health card, whereby they will bill the UK for any treatment given to a UK citizen. ..... I don't see any of this arrangement changing after we leave the EU.

You do know what the 'E' stands for in the E111 card?

E111 European Health Insurance
If you are a UK resident, you are entitled to medical treatment that becomes necessary, at reduced cost or sometimes free, when temporarily visiting a European Union (EU) country, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland.

Article dated 1st June 2016:

Remain says that family holidays will cost hundreds of pounds more if Britain leaves. Correct?
It all depends … on what happens to the value of the pound in the event of a vote to leave. Certainly, if leaving the EU triggers a long-term fall in the value of Sterling, then travel to our favourite locations – Spanish costas, Italian cities, Greek islands, Florida theme parks – would cost more. But not by as much as the Remain camp says.

The Prime Minister turned up at an easyJet hangar in Luton Airport to announce the end of cheap holidays as we know them, citing some very specific figures; the cost of a typical holiday would rise by £57.50. But that is predicated upon the Treasury’s prediction that Sterling would lose 12 per cent of its value. It also assumes, wrongly, that all costs involved in a holiday would rise accordingly.

The pound has fallen by 15% so far! That's more than was predicted!

Though Friday’s crash in the pound takes the currency’s fall against the dollar since the start of the year to more than 15 per cent, the general direction and extent of the move, if not its dizzying pace on Friday, has been a concern to investors for a while.

Now travel insurance, will be advisable for EU holidays, adding a further expense of £25 -£50, if it's available at all:

Many policies, particularly the cheapest, will not insure anyone aged over 65, however fit and active. Most standard policies will also not cover any pre-existing conditions.
Many policies exclude "risky activities", which can be horse riding, scuba diving, jet skiing or mountain climbing.

There was a program the other week, like I read somewhere but I can't recall it now!
There is a "medical tourism" to some Eastern European countries, as well as some Asian countries because the cost of most medical treatment is cheaper than UK, e.g. dental treatment, etc.
