In the budget law there is also room for the 300 euro health card intended for those who are at least 75 years old by 31 December 2027 and have a pension/allowance income of no more than 28,000 euros for 2025. With the bonus you will be able to buy over-the-counter medicines or pay for dental visits and other services. The details and accredited structures will be defined by a subsequent decree. 1.645 billion are allocated for the measure for 2027 alone. The estimated audience is 5.5 million people.

At the press conference, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said that it is “concrete help, but also a way to tell millions of Italians that they are not alone”. The maneuver will also include an additional allocation of 3.4 billion euros for the National Health Fund. Furthermore, the ISEE threshold for accessing the assistance allowance of 850 euros for non-self-sufficient elderly people will be raised from 6 thousand to 12 thousand.
