If you are in an accident, or need to go to hospital you may need to produce a European Health Insurance Card or the hospital will bill you

Even here in the UK the way I read it

From the official site (http://www.nhs.uk/EHIC/Pages/About.aspx)


EHIC notification

The UK has notified all European member states that from 1 April 2008, their citizens will be expected to show an EHIC in order to access necessary hospital treatment without charge.


Nice of them to tell us!

Luckily I have one
