The insurance regulatory authority- IRDA is looking at a proposal to make health cover affordable for all senior citizens. The proposal which is based on the recommendations of an expert panel - is based on the core assumption to allow Senior citizens to enter the Health insurance system even beyond the age of 65 yrs.
This will surely be a welcome change by the Senior Citizens as currently most Health Insurers do not renew their Health Insurance policies after the insured crosses the 65 yrs mark.

the above mentioned is still a proposal and the implementation of the same will be some time away. Moreover the final policy guidelines that IRDA finalizes is not known yet- but there are indications that this will cover people in the age category of your parents also.
So lets wait & see how this unfolds.
