New guidelines for EC citizens on residence and healthcare

 thanks charlotte.

I am in the process of applying for residency and naturally the healthcare side is giving problems. We have decided to go private, at least to start with, and have asked our insurance agent to quote a suitable policy. He, of course, asked the comune what they require for suitability, and that's where everything has ground to a halt. They simply don't know, and are not prepared to commit themselves. The comune have "gone upstairs" for an instruction, but I guess whoever they went to doesn't know either.I wonder if this latest circular contains any guidance?

Looks like a call to Saga to see if they can extend my present UK policy for EU cover. I'll come back if I get any positive response.Terry 

It appears that I need to call Saga to see if they can extend my current UK policy to include coverage for the EU. If I hear something encouraging, I'll come back.

I often read what you write because I find it both interesting and helpful io games

Charlotte ,

unfortunately the circular, like the vast majority of circulars issued by Italian bureaucratic institutions, is a writing intended for multiple further arguments and technical insights, and as usual - IT DOES NOT HIGHLIGHT ANY CERTAIN NUMERICAL DATA -

the greatest evidence is that it discovers - l'acqua calda  -, an Italian term in common Italian use which means, something that everyone knows -
