Ah, another desperate 'remainer' still clinging to the fatuous belief that somehow the NHS stops paying for healthcare for English pensioners who relocate to Spain. They still cost the NHS money. And Britain still pays their old age pensions.
But never mind, put your hands over your ears and go 'La la la la la' very loudly. That'll make the fact go away.
NHS is a good place to argue for remain. As Chief Exec of the NHS said today.

The chief executive of the NHS in England has warned that Britain leaving the EU could send the economy into a “tailspin” that would have a damaging knock-on effect for the health service.
“If Mark Carney is right then that is a severe concern for the National Health Service. Because it would be very dangerous if at precisely the moment the NHS is going to need extra funding actually the economy goes into a tailspin and that funding is not there,” Stevens told BBC1’s The Andrew Marr Show.
“It has been true for the 68 years of the NHS’s history that when the British economy sneezes the NHS catches a cold. This would be a terrible time for that to happen, at just the time that the NHS is going to need that investment.”
It's also true that pensioners in Spain, even if they invoice the NHS, are using Spanish hospital time and beds. Freeing up resources back home.
It's also true that even if the Spanish health services invoice the NHS they are still using Spanish hospital beds, and the time of Spanish doctors - freeing up resources back home.
Stevens said it was not his job to tell the British people how to vote, but made it very clear that he believed there was no potential benefit to the NHS from Brexit.
He said the NHS had benefited “enormously” from 130,000 European Union doctors, nurses and care-workers."
