I know the contents of the Tonight programme came as a ahock to many, but it just goes to show that when taking the biggest decision of your life (to move into another country) you need to look at the negatives as well as the positives. The National Health Service, for all it's faults is still a fantastic resource, the problem is, as shown in the programme, it is taken for granted. What we really should have (especially as we are part of the EU) is a reciprocal agreement with the medical authorities in all countries, after all would you rather cheat, lie and pay out for flights to and from the UK when all you needed to do was go to your local hospital. As one of the guests on the show explained, he, as I would want to, decided that the best way to integrate was to immerse himself in the local culture. Brilliant, but unfortunately not rewarded.
