The E in it at some point.
nope
52% is trade from the whole of the world outside the EU
the most important trade partner by far is the 48% that up until 31st Dec 2020 can be exported to the EU with 1 set of standards covering a market of 500m people friction free just a train ride away.
Yes, but I am talking about now.
I obviously have a card but have never been sure what it does.

OK, Mr Pedantic. The treatment is free at the point of service is what I meant.

One can hold a passport for a different country, but that would not entitle you to reciprocal treatment. An EHIC card does show that one is entitled to reciprocal health care.
For example, an American, holding a US passport, working in France, registered with the French CPAM (French equivalent of NHS) is entitled to a EHIC card for travelling throughout EU.

The purpose of the EHIC card is two fold. It indicates that the holder is entitled to health care, and it provides a process for one country to seek refund for health care provided to a holder of an EHIC card from another country.

When a UK person takes up legal residency in another country, and if applicable, one registers with the health system in that country, one applies to UK pensions for an S1 form, which is specific for whichever country one is moving to.
That S1 is sent to the health providers in the adopted country, and they register you for health care in that country. The S1 provides a mechanism for the adopted country to seek refund for health care provided. Because one is registered in their adopted country, it should be that country that issues the EHIC card.
If one, at a later date, returns to the UK, the S1 form is retracted, and one re-registers in the UK for health care.
Whether one has to de-register from the adopted country, or whether the re-registration in UK initiates that de-registration in the adopted country, I don't know.

It didn't work like that here.

What? Me? Make an error? No, you're mistaken surely. Apparently, I never admit to being wrong, point-scoring and all that.As always the devil is in the detail.
But I'm happy to point out your error.

My experience is of France, obviously.
But friends have a similar experience of living in Germany.
And I see that the experience could be similar for those living in Portugal.
State healthcare: S1
If you live in Portugal and receive an exportable UK pension, contribution-based Employment Support Allowance or another exportable benefit, you may currently be entitled to state healthcare paid for by the UK. You will need to apply for a certificate of entitlement known as an S1 certificate.

There's also information for applying for a Portuguese issued EHIC.If you live in Portugal and receive an exportable UK pension, contribution-based Employment Support Allowance or another exportable benefit, you may currently be entitled to state healthcare paid for by the UK.

The result was obviously the same, but the details, order and who did what were different.

and guess what...the EU is currently negotiating a trade deal with Aust and NZ so the UK couldve benefited from a better deal than it might get anyway if ti stayed in the EU.
Aust and NZ have already said they will put the EU first.

Quite possibly. I'm sure each country has its own mechanisms and peculiarities.
If you are employed or working in your adopted country, based on my experience in France, you will be registered into the health care system. An S1 form is not needed, because you would be considered as contributing to the health care system via whatever the contribution, deducted or paid from your wages, is called.
Even though I submitted my S1 to CPAM, I still pay that contribution, in addition, to the health care system, deducted at source from my wages.
If I had not submitted an S1, I would still have been registered with CPAM because I am employed in France.
