Will Brexit make a difference to my EU/UK NHIC? [closed] - Person cutting noodle with pasta machine

As a UK citizen living in Spain, how will brixit affect my health insurance cover here? Currently we just pop on down to the local doctors, NHIC card (national health insurance card) in hand, and hey presto we get our free health cover.

My understanding is that when I utilize the health services here, they take my details and copies of passport and NHIC and ask the UK health service for a refund.

Hoping that nothing will change as before we became European Citizens we had the E1 11, (free health cover in Europe for UK citizens). Spanish doctors and hospitals are fantastic IMO and I wouldn't want to have to travel to the UK for health care.
