Rejected petition Tell taxpayers why the UK government is the only one on the planet which cannot control who uses its medical services.

More details

NHS employees say they don't want to be checking the entitlement of people turning up at their medical facility. Why not, it happens to every British citizen who travels outside of the UK, including when they travel to other EU countries - Spain in particular, regardless of the E111. What is it that makes us different, that we have to pay for the medical treatment for anybody on the planet who comes to the UK. 200 quid deposit is NOT going to cut it.
