They don't insure stupidity.
It's not that simple. Pre-Existing conditions are very complex, and someone can fall ill due to a pre-existing condition where it had nothing to do with their environment or activity.
Either way you look at it, it will be fine if the UK remain in the EU. If they leave it won't be fine unless you have the money to pay for expensive temporary insurance. That's the real point here.
Edit: It appears you would be ok in Portugal up to December 31st 2020
