European Health Insurance Card

[gmmour]

@0:59 we see a map of Europe with only the member states. And this includes 28 states with Croatia!!! Wishful thinking!!!

[konstatalom]

Switzerland didn't even join to EU. Fuck this shit!

[villiemack]

haha lucky people

[Sayid85]

@konstatalom The EU and the Swiss government have an agreement, so we can use the European Health Insurance Card in Switzerland.

This is what they spend our money on? No wonder people have such ill-feeling towards the EU.

[opalen903]

Eh, do you really think that all the EU do is this?

And some people have ill-feelings towards the EU because of media writing false stories and trying to place the EU in a sinister light. Don't belive the crap the media writes about the EU.

[opalen903]

EU is great... but wtf is this?

[Dhaune]

wtf whats up with that dumb cartoon

[eccemarco]

ok i am european. i love the helth insurance protecion we have.

but oh! the messages are so stupid in these ads. i can't believe we are using taxpayers' money to produce something as silly as this ad.

[wojtekmaj]

Seriously, guys, leave cartoon making to Disney and go change the world! ;)

In fact this card covers your expenses up to the price for the treatment in question in the issuer country. For example if some medical procedure coasts 100€ in your country and it happens that you need it in another country where the price double, you will still have to pay the difference of 100€.

There's still work to do in this direction...

part of the NWO (New World Order) agenda!!!

[wdcsucks1]

looks like NWO (New World Order) commercial to me!!!whats the prise? having our personal data given to a european data base? it is trying to make us believe that EU is better then state sovereignty and that is so dangerous people you need to WAKE UP!!!

So probably in austria if you break a leg you must pay 500€ no matter whether you are austrian, german, italian etc.

Then if you were in Poland and broke your leg, then you will be treated as polish people, so maybe you won't pay anything, or maybe 100€ etc - depends on rules in country you are skiing.

EU rocks big time. I bring my card everywhere.

[Arbitrary242]

The EU needs to spend a bit of money on publicity. Barely anyone in Britain even knows about the EU emergency services number (112). Britain's attitude is disgusting, most of my fellow countrymen regard our country as not a part of Europe and somehow superior.

Hooray for Socialist Europe! May our Soviet European Motherland live and prosper, Comrades! Our Great Leader, Barroso, will show us the way to eternal life, happiness and prosperity in our great Union of Soviet-European Socialist Republics!

[Guyisaritelegend]

God the EU is to hippy sometimes

[Gunnar125]

They're at it again. Why can't they make the videos more adult. It seems like they're trying to brainwash kids with this propaganda.

[Probewitch]

It seems to me that many countries want to claim being part of the european-union, but aren't quite ready to let go of their old ways. The United States is having the same struggles, in every aspect; not just health care.

[SOiser]

The card isn't working!

I have the European Health Insurance Card and I was skying last Winter in Austria. After I breaked my leg I hat to pay 500€ to the Doctor. With or without the Card. It makes no difference. Still work to do here.

Btw. I'm from Germany

[ichtioz]

I used the card in Greece and it worked...however..when telling my greek friends they were amazed and had no idea wtf this card is and how they can get it...the whole problem with things like these is that they are not uniformely communicated to us..however..in italy they told the population pretty well...still..in germany it replaces the health insurance card while in italy you now have the Italian health insurance card as well as the European one...the confusion couldnt be bigger...

[kurtilein3]

in germany, they just added it to the back of each of the normal cards.

i didnt even realize, i mean, i considered it to be nothing more than a change in design, and found out that it has a function much later.

and... if some ppl for example dont have health insurance that actually pays for stuff that happens in different european nations, then those people obviously cannot get this european card thing. it connects structures that already exist, nothing more nothing less.

"I have the European Health Insurance Card and I was skying last Winter in Austria. After I breaked my leg I hat to pay 500€ to the Doctor. With or without the Card. It makes no difference. Still work to do here."

No, no. Card works perfectly.

Just because you have card it doesnt mean the treatment is free everywhere! The card means you have same rights on same treatment as people in that country. Meaning if you are german, and broke a leg in austria you will get same treatment as austrians.
