Here we go again…
Yay, and probably way higher for the higher copays… https://lobbywatch.ch and don’t forget to send the guys to Bern next time.
so how long until we each pay a grand for healthcare per month?
thank god! i was worried i could save a bit more money
I’m pretty sure it’s the insurance price that will eventually make me leave :)))
Yet we continuously refuse to create public insurances or limit premiums
I mean, I say « we » but I truly mean « the Swiss Germans »
And my theory is simple: premiums in the German part are kept artificially cheaper than in Romandy and this is to bribe the Swiss Germans into voting against any change
Well KVG is bloated and covers way too much. What do you expect, of course this has a cost. It’s probably worth it though, just some opzimizations needed.
It’s hard to ignore the math here. Since 2022, Swiss health premiums have risen by an average of 25.4% (jumping from CHF 315 to CHF 393 for 2026), while those of us at the 2,500 franchise have seen even sharper increases.
In that same four-year window, average Swiss salaries have only increased by about 1% annually. When you factor in rising rents and general inflation, the math just doesn’t add up for the younger workforce.
We are effectively funding a demographic shift where 52% of healthcare costs are generated by those over 60, yet there’s simultaneously a push for initiatives like the ’10 Million’ cap that would limit the very workers needed to keep the system solvent. It feels less like social solidarity and more like an unsustainable financial burden on the next generation.
In Zug they are sinking
After the annual “why no AC” posts, the other regular topic surfaced haha
Somebody can explain me why the Socialist Party is not launching a popular initiative to transform the system? Something radical like a public health care insurance with canton based premiums, a cap on doctors salaries, central negotiation on drugs prices and list of free preventive treatments.
Oh No! Anyway…
It’s been like this for so many years, I don’t even truly care anymore and simply include +5-10% per year during my household budget planning. Politicians won’t change a thing so why bother getting angry over it.
