Last year there were about 2.5 million people, almost a third of the population. These are users subject to a policy with a premium that covers expenses related to their burial or cremation and that of family members, as well as the services associated with them. Prices can range from 20 or 35 euros per year, for people aged 30 to 40, to 600-800 for those over 70. The older the age, the higher the price. There are also level premiums (a constant fee only updated with inflation, from about 30 euros per year, for people between 30 and 40 years old, to more than 300 for those over 65). And, finally, there is the single premium, for people over 65 who did not have insurance, and which can range from more than 4,000 to 6,000 euros. </p>]]></description>

The 23 entities supervised by the Catalan government's Directorate General for Financial Policy reached 1,101,761 insured members, 12.5% of the population, representing a growth of more than 20%. The difference compared to eight years ago is that there were 37 mutual funds under the supervision of the Catalan government, and now there are 23, as in the previous year, providing coverage mainly for healthcare, death, and life insurance benefits, according to data from the Directorate General for Financial Policy, Insurance, and the Treasury of the Catalan government. They also regained membership, with 95,208, a 2.24% increase over the previous year.</p>]]></description>
