neutral  Tricia Stuart: I think that the "Sistema Sanitario Italiano" has replaced what is still referred to as the "mutua" in the sense that you use here

  -> I thought so too but then I read there is still the concept of "mutua" in Italy. I also checked the date of the kudo question I reported and it is 2006.

L'istituto assistenziale è: national health insurance ma in questo caso si tratta di mutua sanitaria nazionale : National Health Service. D'altronde il medico della mutua in Italia si chiama National Health Service doctor.

The translation I've suggested is on HAZON-GARZANTI english-italian-english dictionary so unless such an important dictionary is wrong I think I'm pretty right even if there is already something on Kudoz dict.

agree  ivanamdb: si concordo,ad esempio l'ambulatorio dove vado io in Italia è privato, ma convenzionato con la Mutua (ovvero ASL) perciò pago solo il ticket.

neutral  Tricia Stuart: IMHO this might be fine for the UK Olga but the asker is in the US so Moranna's term might be more relevant

Medicare (system)


Explanation:
I'm sorry as I know that I can't enter more than one answer but in this case my first one referred to the English system.
As health care system seemed too generic to me
I've asked my mother who is American and told me that mutua is callel MEDICARE.
I checked on the web and give you a couple of links that confirm this suggestion then it's up to you to choose for the best translation.
As the term System I don'think you need it to translate it as the health system, we are talking about, is already Medicare
