And if uk citizens can afford a week in Magaluf they can afford suitable insurance......but they don't always take it out do they, human nature.

Fact is no civilised country will refuse you urgent medical care. The quality may not be the best but no medical professional will stand in front of you and allow you to needlessly suffer or die. It goes against everything the Hippocratic oath stands for. I pay NI and understand it goes towards helping people with medical needs, exactly who and how doesn't bother me in the slightest.
