If you are back in UK after SS then you do not have to exercise treaty rights in UK (case law of Eind).
And your dependent family member (spouse) just needs to live here with you ie no need to exercise treaty rights.
So afaik there should be no need for health insurance whatsoever.

thanks for your help can relax now

Well if NHS people aren't aware about such matters you may still have to explain it to them (or show some documents).

yes thats why i am looking for link to print and show it to them.

by the time i recived a letter my wife been to hospital again. and if they charge me for that will have to pay 150% of the normal charges and was thinking to rum away from UK....

as i was away from uk for a While i was not fully aware about that changes in the immigration.

i have apointment with them on friday 16th Oct and will post the out come of the issue when i come back might be helpfull for more user....if they face the samilar kind of statuation with NHS.

The EEA family permit that she has is sufficient .

Going into details of your status as a migrant worker who returned home, may confuse them.
