Like I said, if you can read? We were told by just "voting to leave" the £ would collapse and we'd be in a recession (before we even leave)

 

It hasn't

 

We have 63 thousand EU NHS workers we also have 3.8 million EU Nationals living in the UK

So EU workers living here definitely put more stress on the NHS than help

Those statistics, interesting they're the same people who predicted the recession, and the instant job losses, (which again they were wrong on) why should anyone believe they're predictions now? It's fear mongering at its finest

The £ did collapse.

The BoE staved off recession by reducing the interest rates to 0.25% and pumping an additional £70 billion into the economy (quantitative easing is generally not a good sign). We were also fortunate that the global economy improved.

EU migrants pay in more than they take out, are far more likely to be of working age and therefore will rarely use the NHS. On the other hand we have a shortage of staff and a government that isn't training enough UK doctors and nurses. EU workers do not put more stress on the NHS than they contribute to it either directly via working for the NHS or indirectly through taxes.

At the moment you're arguing how it's not as bad as people made it out... but how is leaving with no deal going to improve your life?

Non-EU migrants even have to pay twice into the NHS, as they have to pay 200 pounds a year unless they're on a student visa on top of their part of their paycheck. And the visa prices of the UK will keep many people out even if their expertise would be needed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvzTOmEPYyE

 

For anybody who wants to know about Brexit in detail, I suggest TLDR News on Youtube, as they have a very detailed and impartial series on Brexit:  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa9zPc4IBEBfE1YnVyKd9rjYVZgRaIGJh
