This is what they spend our money on? No wonder people have such ill-feeling towards the EU.

In fact this card covers your expenses up to the price for the treatment in question in the issuer country. For example if some medical procedure coasts 100€ in your country and it happens that you need it in another country where the price double, you will still have to pay the difference of 100€.
There’s still work to do in this direction…

So probably in austria if you break a leg you must pay 500€ no matter whether you are austrian, german, italian etc.
Then if you were in Poland and broke your leg, then you will be treated as polish people, so maybe you won’t pay anything, or maybe 100€ etc - depends on rules in country you are skiing.

“I have the European Health Insurance Card and I was skying last Winter in Austria. After I breaked my leg I hat to pay 500€ to the Doctor. With or without the Card. It makes no difference. Still work to do here.”
No, no. Card works perfectly.
Just because you have card it doesnt mean the treatment is free everywhere! The card means you have same rights on same treatment as people in that country. Meaning if you are german, and broke a leg in austria you will get same treatment as austrians.

The EU needs to spend a bit of money on publicity. Barely anyone in Britain even knows about the EU emergency services number (112). Britain’s attitude is disgusting, most of my fellow countrymen regard our country as not a part of Europe and somehow superior.

in germany, they just added it to the back of each of the normal cards.
i didnt even realize, i mean, i considered it to be nothing more than a change in design, and found out that it has a function much later.
and… if some ppl for example dont have health insurance that actually pays for stuff that happens in different european nations, then those people obviously cannot get this european card thing. it connects structures that already exist, nothing more nothing less.

They’re at it again. Why can’t they make the videos more adult. It seems like they’re trying to brainwash kids with this propaganda.

It seems to me that many countries want to claim being part of the european-union, but aren’t quite ready to let go of their old ways. The United States is having the same struggles, in every aspect; not just health care.

I used the card in Greece and it worked…however..when telling my greek friends they were amazed and had no idea *** this card is and how they can get it…the whole problem with things like these is that they are not uniformely communicated to us..however..in italy they told the population pretty well…still..in germany it replaces the health insurance card while in italy you now have the Italian health insurance card as well as the European one…the confusion couldnt be bigger…
