Questions from an interested but uninformed party:
1) Is the charge of 7UKP reflective of private insurance or an
arrangement between the NHS and the French equivalent?
2) Are there provisions for citizens of one EU country to be treated in
another EU country under that country's health system?
3) If not, is this envisioned to be a part of the EU in the future - a
fusion or partnership between the disparate health systems of the EU?
4) In what way, if any, does / will the EU affect the health systems
involved?
