In Italy healthcare is provided to all citizens and residents by the public-italian Health system called Sistema sanitario nazionale (SSN), which is organized under the Ministry of Health and is administered on a regional basis.
Every Italian citizen is eligible to have a local Family Doctor, who is entirely paid by the SSN, and who must offer visiting time at least five days a week and have a limit of 1500 patients. Patients can choose and change their family doctors if necessary.

Visits by specialist doctors or diagnostic tests are provided by the public hospitals or by conventioned private ones, and if prescribed by the family doctor require only a copay and are free for people with low income. 

The Italian Health care System ranks 2nd in the world World Health Organization's Ranking of the World's Health Systems, while the US system is 37!​]]>Fri, 09 Jan 2015 14:08:21 GMThttps://www.italiancitizenshipconsultants.com/latest-news/why-should-you-need-a-dual-citizenshipHaving Dual Citizenship (Italian and American) Citizenship provides you with a lot of advantages: - from owning property in Italy to the freedom of long stays within the European Union. But, as Italian Americans, becoming an Italian citizen is  much more than that.

Holding an passport in your hand bears the seal of your ancestral country and allows you to access public medical care, study or work in any country within the European Union  and lastly it is a tangible way of showing your commitment to honor your origins.

Citizenship may normally be gained by birth within a certain territory, descent from an ascendant who is a citizen (jure sanguinis – by blood), marriage to a citizen, or naturalization.

Since the European Union has been established, citizens of all the member countries automatically became citizens of European Union. European citizenship is supplementary to national citizenship and affords advantageous rights such as the right to free movement, settlement and employment across the EU.

That’s why, Italian citizenship became more desirable for the non-EU citizens, who would otherwise be expected to obtain a residency permit if they want to reside anywhere in Europe. Once Italian citizenship is obtained, no visa or residency permit is needed for any EU country.

Italian citizenship is currently regulated by Law no. 91/1992, which, in contrast with previous laws, reassesses the importance of an individual's intention in the acquisition or loss of citizenship and recognizes the right to hold more than one citizenship simultaneously.
