sickness insurance

They intend to pay for measures by cutting back on overseas aid and benefits like unemployment and sickness insurance.

"First we are going to vote for our own budget, but in the second round, we will vote for the government's budget because we consider that we have managed to get in a lot of improvements in sickness insurance," Dadgostar told Swedish television.

Only those who have chosen to pay state sickness insurance will receive anything.

“It is not just a question of the affordability of treatment. The commission is talking about a piece of EU legislation for third-country nationals who were originally British citizens. One of the conditions they are talking about is a requirement to have sickness insurance. So if we become third-country nationals because of no deal then everyone has to have insurance.”

Dominique Welbank said: “As a French national having lived here since 1991, and having been denied permanent residence because I do not have comprehensive sickness insurance, I have no confidence the Home Office will not extend this scheme to EU citizens like myself because of Brexit.”
