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

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.
Hmmm, Free healthcare or burning in an imaginary hell.
Bring on the **** nurses.
Don’t say that Brussels might think your serious.
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.
This card helped me on the Camino de Santiago in Northern Spain. My feet got treated for no cost at the point of use
