- Pooge 29d agoYup. Premiums change depending on the deductible you choose[1] and your age. [1]: If you have the CHF2500/year deductible, premiums are cheaper but you have to pay that amount out of picket before the insurance company reimburses your expenses

- qup 28d agoYou have to pretend it's free, in America. People don't want to support themselves.
- close04 29d agoIsn't this how socialized healthcare works in every country? Whether they realize it or not the principle is generally the same, an amount (usually bundled under "social contributions") goes from people's gross salary to pay for the health insurance.
- NotGMan 28d agoIn other EU countries it's the same or even worse: you just pay it as a part of gross and gross-gross taxes.
