Interesting. To my knowledge, if you apply for the reciprocal health document, its issue will (unless you are retired) depend on your recent contributions to the system in your own EU country. Therefore if I am right in assuming you have made no significant contributions over the last few years, then you wont be entitled to State health care and will need to take private care out unless you are of pensionable age.
If you are of pensionable age then you need to obtain E121 from DWP in Newcastle upon Tyne, but if you have been out of the UK for some considerable time then I have to admit I dont know how this will effect your claim.
Private health care is relatively cheap here
