    This year it was around 5%, next year another 6%, but when the fuck is salarys and shit going to increase? I’m going crazy here, last year i spent around 500 CHF on krankenkasse and this year i pay 650! (lowered franchise aswell) but next year its gonna be 700???? Thats a small appartement hello????

    wtf… OP why is this flagged as NSFW? It’s not NSFW.

    On topic: While I like having a health system that works, I do resent paying so much for something I never fricken use. Im sure I will appreciate it more when I am older though.

    To be the devil’s advocate, I still much prefer Swiss private healthcare to the Canadian and Belgian ones (having lived in all three places).

    As long as there is a compulsory insurance, the cost will only increase. This is a lot of money and everyone is praying on it. Hospitals, doctors, insurance companies, pharma companies, intermediaries, etc. Of course there isn’t enough money and next year they’ll ask for more.

  5. I would prefer not to pay at all in advance and just pay whatever I need to pay whenever I need an appointment or medical care. This crap is crazy. I pay over 4K a year for basic insurance with the highest deductible and have right to basically nothing. Zero. We have zero salary increases, rents are skyrocketing, electricity just went up 40% this year where I live. I honestly don’t understand what we’re expected to do…

  6. Having recently been in hospital here in Switzerland and comparing this to Germany – it’s a difference like day and night. 

    I know that Swiss health insurance is expensive for many people, but I really think it’s fair if you put this into relation of the quality it has. 

    I am certain there is a lot of space for savings, which is logical given this is a Kanton based system which probably creates immense redundancies. Just don’t mess the system up when trying to reduce costs.
