If they find out (and the UK and Spanish authorities are now working closely together) then you know what will happen.

I'm not being judgemental Jo, just telling you in case you weren't aware.
OMG, I had no idea! I actually dont know how to do sort this. My OH works and pays tax as a married man with dependants in the UK at present and I thought that meant we were still included by the NHS. To be honest, this hasnt arisen yet, but thats was my plan
