Several categories of people could be exempt from paying for health insurance. A draft law to this effect has been approved by the parliamentary committee on social protection, health and the family.

Thus, disabled persons or pensioners belonging to one of the following categories will not have to pay for the health insurance policy: owners of agricultural land, with the exception of gardens and vegetable plots; founders of individual enterprises; holders of an entrepreneur's licence; natural persons carrying out self-employed activities in the retail trade, with the exception of trade in goods subject to excise duty; natural persons carrying out activities in the field of purchase of plant or horticultural products or objects of the plant kingdom.

The draft law is to be submitted for public consultation and debate in Parliament.
