Welfare may not be enough: investments in supplementary coverage are increasing.
This is confirmed by the Aipb-Censis report entitled: “Investing in the future of Italy beyond Covid-19”, which states that we are witnessing a race for self-protection.
Today even those who are economically better-off fear the crisis: 62% of wealthy individuals suffer from the uncertainty of this period. Diseases (46%) and threats to income (39.7%) are of concern. And for 66.7% of the wealthy it is time to invest in real world economic industries.
According to the report, for 87.5% of high-income earners, the priority is to invest in insurance coverage for health, old age and children’s education. There is a growing belief that the state will not be able to give everything to everyone forever, 53% expect that in the future the public welfare system will guarantee essential services (as in the case of intensive care and life-saving interventions) and that for the rest who can will have to pay the services personally. The 41.8% of the wealthiest have already taken out insurance and 24.9% are willing to spend more on supplementary healthcare (only 5.9% plan to reduce this item of expenditure in the future).
