From what has been reported it would appear that Spain are no longer going to abide by the EU reciprocal health rules.
Reports say that retirees are now going to have to buy private health care as the national health scheme that they paid into in their own country will no longer be acceptable. Now I am not sure of the cost for private health care as you get older in Spain but it will be an added expense that those budgeting on a pension will have to bear.
It is said that the government are hoping to save about one billion euros through this action.
However it does make me wonder how much they will lose by people going to spend their retirement in European countries that abide by the rules.
