Should foreign visitors have to pay for emergency medical treatment during their stay in the UK?

Only if they have their version of travel insurance

As we have to pay for certain medical emergencies even when we “use to be” covered by EHIC, as EHIC didn’t cover everything. Me personally at 16 years old, UK born resident was nearly killed on a quad bike in Greece in 2017 and was denied any coverage. I never received any medical treatment whatsoever as a result of not being covered by EHIC! I nearly lost my life and was before BREXIT!
