Elderly, card of 300-500 euros to pay for tickets and healthcare expenses

A new card for seniors aims to cover healthcare expenses not included in the national public service, with amounts ranging from 300 to 500 euros. This initiative, primarily supported by Forza Italia, targets those over 75 with incomes below 50,000 euros, potentially benefiting around 7 million individuals. The plan is still under development, with details on eligibility and funding yet to be finalized. The card is designed to facilitate immediate financial support for healthcare costs, addressing the needs of lower-income seniors who may not benefit from tax deductions due to insufficient income tax capacity.
