The European health insurance card provides proof of European citizens' entitlement to health insurance. Today, more than 172 million citizens have the card in their pocket. It is free and facilitates access to medical treatment when travelling in another Member State, whether for a weekend trip, holidays, education, a training course or for business purposes. For more information about the card and how to obtain one in your country of residence: http://ec.europa.eu/employment_social/healthcard

Jul 25, 2008 - u are not very smart: if u are on the beach u generally don't carry any cards, you also don't carry one on the beach in your own country, beside that not all accidents happen on the beach. if you are seriously injured they won't let you die until u bring the ehic-card. if u have this card (carried with u or easy accessible e.g. in the hotel room) u can skip all burecreatic hurdles and prevent urself from massive hospital bills, that's what it is about.

Aug 2, 2008 - Laser etching on forehead. LoL, or chip implant :)I support nocard policy. But, even in EU where all countries have social medicine or universal, as americans call it, not everyone has even that social insurance. To get it, you must have a job, be student, be inlisted in the jobless office (or how its called) Anyway. Till there is no unified system, and agreement that my beloooved Lithuania gona pay for my treated broken leg in Austrian fees, the only way is the card. But i HOPE it is temporary.

excellenceinamerica Says:

Jul 17, 2009 - These socialists believe "health care" is a right... but not "Free Speech"? Hmmm.. and the United States politicians are trying to copy this model? America you have your rights... pay your damn medical bills! Congress you want you help? TORT REFORM! Dereuglate! Let people buy insurance across state lines! Don't substitute insurance bureaucracy with Government Bureaucracy!

Jul 29, 2009 - Who cares about usa...

Bozewani Says:

Aug 4, 2009 - Awesome.... I am just worried that one day we will have a mastercard (no not the freaking credit card) but a card which covers your entire life, your driver's license, your credit card, transport card, id, health insurance, and if you lose your'e screwed up the ass...

gingercatni Says:

Aug 21, 2009 - what bollocks! Americans are not "free" nor is it the land of the free, if you're black, gay or any other ethnic minority you people persecute them to hell. Further if you adopted a similar helath care system as europe those who cannot afford insurance could get the treatment they need rather than suffer in pain and neglect. For such a big country America hides it's poverty well.

WeAreTheEuropeanz Says:

Aug 30, 2009 - If it's good, all the credit goes to the national government. But if it's bad, then this is because of Brussels.

creaton1976 Says:

Oct 28, 2009 - you don't need it on the beach just at your hotel. you will be treated and then later show your card and you will be covered.

so2murad Says:

Dec 18, 2009 - is this card only for EU citizens or a foreigner get it too ?

creaton1976 Says:

Feb 20, 2010 - it is only available for EU citizens im afraid.

Emmets Says:

Mar 13, 2010 - Why do you think that let people buy insurance across state lines will decrease your stratospheric medical bills? And most importantly ... What's wrong with let that people choose one public choice? Nobody will ban you continue with your private health insurer!

TheRayCarroll Says:

May 28, 2010 - @excellenceinamerica Who's a socialist? The EU? I think your confusing social democracy with socialism. and who said free speech isn't a right? Pay your damm medical bills? where do you think people are going to get 6 figure sums for major operations if they're on minimum wage?
