Just why? What is this madness?
I’m sure salaries will go up to help with this and inflation
s/
Fukkk. Are they joking. These insurance companies are just minting money.
Does not pop up in the inflation scores, so it’s all great (from the outside).
Yeah fuck insurers and people working there higher-ups. One day it’ll come back and bite you hard. I hope.. but fuck you ahah. All I can say.
I love this country but sort this shit out and move to a state only insurer, god fucking damn it.
1 – You cannot have something be mandatory by law and left to free market, because you make the demand inelastic. So if all insurers constantly raise their prices year after year (which is a cartel btw) you have no power on the demand side.
2- Don’t give me “administrative costs are just 5% of the costs” bullshit. Each insurer needs to have seats (either buying or leasing gigantic buildings), cantonal offices, several levels of employees, etc. You could make substantial economies of scale with a single entity, especially if it is not a for profit but just run by the Confederation to break even. Then I see insurers adverts in every train, train station, paper, tv, YouTube, EVERYWHERE, that shit costs a lot of money, especially in Switzerland. For what? Changing from Helsana to CVS and have the exact same product?!? Private health insurers are a money pit and a disgrace.
Jesus Christ.
Well, we just had a chance to vote on this, but hey.
Fuck them with all possible meaning. Insurances are the biggest scam of Switzerland
17% for me…………
Zu viele kk die Geld vernichten mit Angestellten und Verwaltung die den spitälern am Schluß nichts bringen. Wir sollten an den zu vielen kk sparen und nicht an den Ärzten und Spitälern
Lucky you are not in ticino
Time to get sick and use what I pay for I guess
Mais pour les retraitĂ©s, il n’y aura aucune augmentation de revenu. Entre augmentations de taxes, de prĂ©lèvements obligatoires et inflation, voilĂ oĂą se situe le problème. Et M.Maillard a beau gesticuler, ce n’est que de la rhĂ©torique. Un politicien qui depuis plus de 20 ans touche plus de 10’000.00 par mois ne peut pas comprendre quelqu’un qui doit vivre avec 2809.00 par mois, avant impĂ´ts.
But for pensioners, there will be no increase in income. Between tax increases, compulsory deductions and inflation, that’s where the problem lies. And no matter how much Mr. Maillard gesticulates, it’s just rhetoric. A politician who has been earning over 10,000.00 a month for more than 20 years can’t understand someone who has to live on 2,809.00 a month, before tax.
As individuals there is really not much we can do. Shouldn’t we“unionize” in some sort? push your employer to sign a contract with a insurer?. My company pay the premiums for us (as I mentioned in another post) sure they have more than 2000 employees so they can really talk prices… but I suppose smaller company could find some similar solutions
Getting real fed up with this shit. This will not stop. The population is aging and that costs us a ton. Meanwhile, the aging population is also getting a 13th pension and now there is talk of pension adjustment. What do we get? Nothing.
We work and work and work, and many people cannot afford this stuff. The social contract is dead, and not a single political party cares about it.
