    Its pretty expensive compared to lots of europe. But yeah the euthenasia iirc is all very doctor-supervised and I think only for cases of terminal illness

      By per capita expenditure, Swiss healthcare is the 2nd most expensive in the world after the American, of course. It’s mandatory for everyone and here’s how it works for us working class.

      The lowest you can pay is 300 CHF/USD a month, but depends on private insurance.

      This means you then pay the first 2500 CHF of medical cost per year out of your own pocket.

      The next 7000 CHF of costs per year you pay 10% of, i.e. 700 CHF.

      If your costs per year are bigger still, you don’t pay anything now, it’s 100% covered but I’ve never went that far myself.

      There are no „preexisting conditions“, haggling, and other nonsense and sometimes the medical gear you need is immediately covered in 100%.

      The medical bills are still hilariously stupid looking where you are sometimes charged per minute of conversation with doctors and the beginning of the conversation is charged differently than the end or the middle of the conversation …
