Brexit: How do you think Britain’s pull-out will affect you?

Sometimes it’s presumed Brit expats in Spain would never vote for Brexit, fearing changes – or losses – to their pensions and healthcare, but recent reports are suggesting that Costa del Sol expats are a lot more divided than we might have guessed.
Wendy Simpson, a former executive with the CBI, is prepared to risk her life in Spain to follow her gut feeling and vote to leave the EU.
Quoted in The Telegraph, Wendy says, “Britain and the EU is a relationship that just hasn’t worked. So much of what comes out of Brussels is unnecessary and hampers business,” .
Wendy, it seems, is ready to vote ‘Yes’ for Brexit, even though it could endanger her property here in Spain.
“Brexit could be a hammer blow to us. We are not wealthy,” she continues, “Would Britain continue to pay into the Spanish health system for our treatment? What would happen with pensions? Is there a dialogue going on? We just don’t know.”
Of course, that’s just one opinion.
Many expats are very concerned at the possibility of becoming “overnight immigrants”. On the other hand, many feel the need to leave. What do you think?
