Going off the linked story, the guy is British but doesn't have an EHIC to prove it.

A comment on the ridiculousness of 'health tourism' hysteria and this heavy-handed response? Or on the creeping privatisation of the NHS, moving by stealth from free at the point of care to free if you present treatment authorisation documents? Or just 'loving immigrants, causing all this!!'? You decide!

That's a really hosed up story by the way, on many levels. We're doomed
