Cultural Tip
In Italy the public health system (SSN) covers most basic care, but many people add a private plan for faster access or extra services. When you mention a private insurer like Aetna, Italians will understand you have supplemental coverage. Remember to keep the article *l'* before *assicurazione*; dropping it sounds unnatural.
