Hi,
I've moved over from the UK 4 weeks ago and am finding it hard to find work. I need to get health cover (I guess, not sure if my E111 covers anything - I've stopped paying tax in the UK?) and I'm not sure how to go about it or what cover I can get.
I have pre-existing conditions, which I know will bump up my premium and I'm getting worried my money is going to be eaten up with payments each month.
what do you advise?
thanks!

Start here: Wiki: Health Insurance
The E111 (which in fact no longer exists, but I presume you mean the European Health Insurance Card which has replaced it) is intended to cover you for emergency conditions while travelling for up to 3 months and not for pre-existing conditions, but it is easy to abuse. You may find a local doctor to treat you under EHIC conditions, but they would not be obliged to.
