This significant increase highlights a growing awareness among citizens of the importance of health coverage.

Dodon attributes this surge in enrollment, in part, to early-year discounts offered on health insurance policies. He points out that the number of employees, who contribute a percentage of their salary towards health insurance, has remained relatively stable year-over-year. However, the number of individuals opting for the fixed-premium option has seen a dramatic rise.

*"We've witnessed a record number of insured individuals who have opted for the fixed-sum premium this year,"* Dodon stated. *"Compared to the same period in 2022, where approximately 92,000 people purchased this premium, over 150,000 individuals have done so by March 31st, 2023. This represents a significant jump from the roughly 60,000 who enrolled in 2022."*

It's important to note that the fixed-premium option was only available for purchase at discounted rates until April 1st. Currently, the cost of this plan stands at 12,636 lei. Previously, fixed-premium prices ranged from 1,014 lei to 4,056 lei.
