The Swiss could teach us a lot of things. About healthcare, about the presidency (rotated there among canton leaders), about serving alcohol in coffee houses, about dogs in restaurants, about the ability of citizens to organize referendums and wipe out any laws, about how to make cheese and watches.
Healthcare for SURE. their quality and hygiene are less than ours, and their doctors cant be sued so they are little gods, but their insurance system is far superior. I worked in human resources there. Best is that everyone buys their own insurance, it’s not tied to the employer. There are three tiers, really cheap so even an elderly pensioner can afford it, called “ward” — meaning your care is less but still “decent.” You are in a big room in the hospital, a ward. Then the typical semi- private level, with your typical middle class care for pretty much everyone. And of course a private level for the wealthy, or special circumstances ( say you have a very sick child - you could decide to give him private).
And they are geniuses when it comes to accident insurance. They have no cottage industry in ripping off employers, because employers pay for ALL ACCIDENTS. No need to figure out if it was work related. A broken leg skiing, the employer pays. No one tries to get anything “over” on their employers. There is not much you can sue for. So the amounts of accidents are far less, as most Swiss prefer to work than to shirk. Doctors routinely write sick notes or injury notes excusing workers for weeks, and just as routinely the worker shows up much sooner. Every missed day is paid, so they don’t have the drive to fake sick days. It’s a different mindset. People prefer to be thought well of, so often they work sick, even though they are fully paid when ill.
