They always have the option of going native and getting a passport of their
country of residence. Since they seem to believe life is better than in the
UK
one has to wonder why they don't just do that anyway unless its simply to
be
able to fly back and get free NHS treatment or some equally cynical reason.

Why would they fly back to the UK for NHS treatment? They're entitled to
use the local health services, which are often better than the NHS, on the
same terms as the locals.

Maybe, but I can't think of many other reasons not to get a local passport.

Because currently *any* EU passport is equally as good.

Not if you want to vote. And if you live in a country I'd assume you'd want
to take part in the political process. Or maybe thats just me. There's probably
state pension issues too.
