A valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) gives card holders the right to access state-provided healthcare on temporary stays in other European Economic Area (EEA) countries or Switzerland. Treatment should be provided on the same basis as it would be to a resident of that country and is provided either at reduced cost or, in many cases, for free. The EHIC covers treatment that is medically necessary until the card holder returns home. This includes treatment for pre-existing medical conditions.

I think this talk of having to get one of these whilst we are still in the EU is pretty misleading, as far as I know the deal applies to other countries as well as the EU such as Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and I think even Croatia.

Beware of sites at the top of Google search, they take you to a payment screen after you have entered your name, NINO and D.O.B but at first glance the website looks legit, the Mrs did this last night. God knows what they can still do with this info...?
