GHIC card.

[noseall]

Mottie has already adequately picked up on the "what took them so long" point, although I'll add that the EU was formed in 1993, meaning that we were members for about 27 years (depending on how you count the date of exit), roughly half of your 5 decades claim.

Nope.

This is what Mottie admitted when I asked him to explain....

I can’t.

The "economists" you refer to are academics and likely paid shills of the EU or the global elite.

Nope.

They do not represent the real economy

Yes they do. Even Euro sceptical economists admitted Brexit has been a failure for the economy.

- they are paid to create a model that demonstrates a desired outcome.

Nonsense.

If you ask Britons

Im asking you to explain this...

the EU was deliberately structured to asset strip and destroy the UK when we were members

...which so far you haven't nor will you ever be able to because it simply isn't true.

We're getting there. So, how long after the issue date was the expiry date? Come on, just answer. No swerving.

I'm getting there, you're not...

Average time of EHIC card validity approximately 5years...

How many times could that card be used and more importantly was there a time limit imposed?

The answer is as many times as you like and for any duration during the card's validity...

Now take the GHIC card...

It can only be used for a period of 90 days during any 180 days period, regardless of issue/expiry dates...

But hey, you continue to spout your brexit nonsense for as long as you like...

The only people you are deluding are yourself and your fellow brexit followers who don't care what harm you cause to the UK !

 

[Mottie]

Average time of EHIC card validity approximately 5years...

Same for GHIC

It can only be used for a period of 90 days during any 180 days period, regardless of issue/expiry dates...

Same for any unexpired EHICs under the 90/180 rule.

No difference.

 

[King Billy]

Same for GHIC


Same for any unexpired EHICs under the 90/180 rule.

No difference.

If the EHIC card was replaced by the GHIC card in January 2021, and they lasted for 5 years, won't they all be expired by now?

Ask @ellal. He seems to have an everlasting one.

 

[King Billy]

Ask @ellal. He seems to have an everlasting one.

Really?

Average time of EHIC card validity approximately 5years...

Why would you think he has an everlasting one?

 

[Mottie]

Really?

Why would you think he has an everlasting one?

He was always banging on about it. Looks like it’s expired now.

The 'rollover' was the agreement that current EHIC cards would remain in force until they expired...

Some intelligent people renewed their EHIC ones just before brexit...

I wonder who he was referring to?
The same intelligent people must have thought that time would stand still after Brexit too.

In any case, who the heck goes on holiday or travels to the EU and just relies on an EHIC/GHIC? Only an unintelligent person, that’s who. EHIC/GHIC only covers emergency medical cover in a state hospital whereas a proper travel insurance covers private and state medical care, repatriation, missed departures, loss of luggage, theft and a whole lot more.

As will everyone else's

Same for any unexpired EHICs under the 90/180 rule.

So this was a bit of spiteful nonsense then?

Ask @ellal. He seems to have an everlasting one.

There are some slight differences, e.g. UK students studying in EU, and some people in Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein with residency rights.
The EHIC was for EU only,whereas the GHIC covers for some other countries.

In any case, who the heck goes on holiday or travels to the EU and just relies on an EHIC/GHIC?

A lot of people.

Only an unintelligent person, that’s who. EHIC/GHIC only covers emergency medical cover in a state hospital whereas a proper travel insurance covers private and state medical care, repatriation, missed departures, loss of luggage, theft and a whole lot more.

And pre-existing conditions.
Pre Brexit, UK residents could bypass queues in UK by going to an EU country with a pre existing ailment to receive medical care.
They didn't need to be referred to a specialist by a doctor, they could simply consult a specialist in the EU, directly.

An EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) covered medically necessary, state-provided healthcare during temporary visits to EU countries, Switzerland, and the EEA. It ensured you received state treatment under the same conditions and costs as local residents (which is often free).
What it Covered:

• Emergency treatment and visits to A&E
• Treatment for pre-existing medical conditions
• Routine maternity care (as long as the trip wasn't explicitly to give birth)
• Ongoing treatments like kidney dialysis or oxygen therapy (must be pre-arranged)
