Huh? One news organisation obviously has it wrong, and I don't know
which. The BBC reports that she had no insurance- thinking she'd be
covered by the E-111 form.

Which contains the para: "Miss Webster had mistakenly thought Turkey
was in the European Union and had taken an E-111 form, which entitles
EU citizens to free medical treatment in member states."

After all the controversy about whether or not to admit Turkey to the
EU, how can any Brit not know this?
