Video Summary
AI GeneratedThe video introduces the UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC), explaining its purpose as a replacement for the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) for UK residents. The speaker details the card's features, its current coverage across 27 EU nations, and the potential for future global health agreements to reduce travel insurance costs.
Hello everyone I'm making a new video today and that's a very long time I see you very long time
ago but I'm making a new video because today this is not about stocks this is about something
really current and if you remember before we left the European Union if you remember one of these
cards the European health insuring cards now um the UK government is giving us a new card
kind of the same thing so this is a UK global health insuring card and I will show you so
basically you see the holograph of the British flag very colourful you see the background of
the British flag so I'll tell you the difference about the ECUP card and the global card or known
as um GHIC card so basically you will still have the same detail it's got the same UK
the only difference is this is just all 27 EU nation or I think there's 26 or 27
all 27 EU nations so what's the difference with this card and this card so if you are a citizen
and a resident of the UK you get this card when you actually renew your card so it's just a new
card if you are a student in the European Union you can still get this card still today if I
look at below there's a link below will show you every requirement and criteria but
this is entertainment purposes so don't sue me and so so make sure to do your own research so
the difference about this card it is a new card it's a global health insuring card you still need
to get insurance that to claim with your health insurers when you go abroad so if anything you
need help for example for example if there is any accident and emergency you still always need
health insurance the same with this card but the future of this card is something bright so they
are kind of looking at or actually doing a health um kind of like a trade agreement but a health
agreement with other countries so a lot of people will might see this as an opportunity to not to
only to expand to 27 EU nations but this could actually began a revolutionize that actually
that you might have a cheaper health insurance when you go abroad instead of actually pay a
higher amount on your premium on your travel insurance and this could have to be reduced
or you might get it for free if there's something any accident or emergency with the trade agreement
that country so that country and so it's more like it'd be a bilateral agreement with some
countries but as what we are looking mainly that there are some countries like Australia and New
Zealand are looking to do a health agreement but that's expectedly could be true or maybe not but
actually that's what we should be thinking of we should be thinking of what this will be because
they say it's a global health insurance card and it's going to be global for all UK citizens so
putting a high hope for this card so if you actually know that you've got a UK health
insurance and you've been inspired there's a link below to get your global health insurance to make
sure that ensure that not only you get your health um travel insurance not health insurance your
travel insurance but also have your global health insurance card included as well so in case when
you go abroad you know you can sign up there's a link below and so so yeah i'm going to show you
the card of it so it still has your name it will tell you what department maybe it will be the
department of work and pension it will have your unique code and if you see the picture online
you might just see it got your personal national health insurance number and so you see the hologram
it kind of has that logo you get on the ambulance so if you it's a very Greek
and ancient greek logo and so so this is also the back of it
and so they just say this is not approved identity this car may not cover full cost of
treatment abroad as i mentioned make sure you have a valid travel insurance as i mentioned
this card is not valid for private treatment and this is not a proof of entitlement to the
nhs services in the uk should you need to make a claim on your return home contact the overseas
health care service and got the telephone number to tell you what time in gmt time or british
summertime if you've got any questions for for information for more information on your health
care entitlement abroad and information about where this card is valid go to www.gov.uk
so if if you actually saw this card lost it got the address below say if found plea return to
tie or 10 tie not 10 tie le992de so yes it's kind of the same color of this background
but the only difference is a lot smaller it's more clear this looks like a lot messier
and one thing i do actually do i do like this design it's very colorful
and i also said this got more plastic this has actually got less plastic you can feel
the flexibility and this is less like this is more lighter than this one this is more heavier
so yeah so yeah so thank you for watching my video and yes i do have a global health insurance card
and we take roughly if i remember it took about three weeks to get my global health insurance
so it might take a lot quicker but might take slower because of the cv pandemic so
be patient and there's a link below to sign up or to renew your card so yeah cool thank you
for watching my video just follow subscribe and just give me a like and i'll see you next time
goodbye
