    Let’s hope some sort of reciprocal basic health care Is in place on 31st Dec or we will all have EHIC cards with no use. 
    There already is. It's called travel insurance.
    While I wouldn't dream of travelling without insurance, that doesn't mean that EHIC cards have been irrelevant. Any claim on insurance often seems to result in premiums rising the following year so using EHIC can be a good option.

    Yes but it will be reciprocal so will affect foreign visitors all though the NHS appear to be lax at reclaiming money from tourists using their services.
