Switzerland locks you into obligatory health insurance, starting at around 200$ a month but with 2k franchise which you pay before you get covered or more like 400$ a month and then you're still liable for 10%of the bill...it's a capitalistic hellscape allright...sure you can get government subsidies...not sure what each cantons requirements are... the irony imo is that under the guise of competition people pay multiple management organizations of different health care companies a good cut ... they tried 7? times to vote by referendum to amalgamate them all but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯... Also I've been through their "Urgences" triage in Lausanne with a menisque problem and they were incredibly inefficient and then had the gall to charge me 100chf and bill me for painkillers I didn't want...
