Migrants are not excluded from healthcare in most EU countries. They are on special schemes, A.M.E. in France. In fact, as an Australian resident I came back to a French hospital (after expiry of my SSN / a consultation is cheaper in France), and after seeing the doctor, they said they couldn’t establish the bill without current SSN and would have to... call me back. I’m the kind of guy who really wants to pay (It was just 120€, on an Australian salary), so I did give them my real name, email, phone, but the scene was surreal. “I want to pay you. Here is money to pay France, please take it.” —“No”
That country is going to end up in debt.
