Rejected petition Make all foreign visitors carry private medical insurance whilst in the UK .
The NHS losses millions of pounds every single day to foreign visitors using the NHS and not paying their invoices for treatment . We can easily obtain this money back by simply making all foreign visitors hold private medical insurance prior to being let into the country .
