Elderly married relatives in their 70's have never had private health insurance, and have had a medical card for some time > 10 years. There is a pre-existing condition requiring monthly meds and quarterly consultant visits, so presumably there is a 10 year waiting period for private health insurance to cover these visits.
They are now over the €900 per week couple HSE income limit for a medical card, which they will presumably lose shortly.
What are the options to pay for future health care including outpatient and in-patient?
