Swiss parliament has approved, in principle, raising the minimum health insurance deductible from CHF 300 to between CHF 350 and CHF 400. The goal? Reducing costs by "encouraging individuals to take greater personal responsibility and avoid unnecessary doctor visits".
This move would disproportionately affect low-income households and those with chronic illnesses.
Personally, I’m skeptical. Is this really cost containment, or just shifting the burden onto those already struggling?

We’re gonna need our own Luigi at a certain point.
This is “fuck you poor people”.
It doesn’t encourage people to be more responsible, it encourages them to avoid going altogether.
New mole? Probably nothing, won’t go.
