Cost of Health Insurance

[1000000CHF]

@Bojack

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?

Yes.

@Bojack

So in Switzerland the cheapest all-inclusive insurance costs like 400 CHF

If it was voluntary, it would be moral, more efficient and cheaper, ceteris paribus.

@Bojack

For comparison, in Poland

Polish health care is a full case of the inefficiency and corrupting force of the socialistic pathology.

@Bojack

in Poland people seek fake employment for minimal wage, just to be insured.

In Poland registered unemployed is insured.

@Bojack

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.

That’s true. It’s a big source of inefficiency in the Swiss system. It’s similar to US in this manner and leads to rising prices.
