Why it matters
What this source helps explain
Health and social security are coordinated, not automatic
EHIC depends on being insured and covers necessary state healthcare during a temporary stay; it is not travel insurance. Benefits and tax follow work, residence and contribution rules.
Citizenship is not health insurance
EU health and social-security coverage follows economic status, insurance and residence—not nationality alone.
Check tax and health status from the facts
Residence, work, centre of interests and insurance—not citizenship alone—usually determine tax residence and health coverage.
