That’s an interesting topic for me. Maybe even worth its separate thread. Why do you say that health insurance is a robbery? Do you suggest it should be voluntary? Then what would we do with the people who didn’t get insured and got sick? Treat them and send them the bill? Let them die?
BTW So in Switzerland the cheapest all-inclusive insurance costs like 400 CHF per month, and that’s regardless of your income. For comparison, in Poland it costs 9% of your salary (*after ZUS). So if your salary is 5000 CHF (that’s a lot), you will pay as much as in Switzerland for a really crappy health insurance!
Even better, if you’re not employed but still wanna be insured, you will pay based on average Polish salary (currently 1300 CHF). But after 10 years it goes to 200%! 250 CHF for an unemployed person. That’s why in Poland people seek fake employment for minimal wage, just to be insured.
What I hate in Swiss healthcare system is that you don’t know the prices of procedures up front. You can’t compare and take the cheapest option. They will send you the bill two months after your visit. In Poland you can check the prices on the website.
