"Our health system is among the top performers in the world. Competition between health insurers and freedom of choice for clients play a major role in this,"
"Supporters of the status quo argue that higher premiums are inevitable given an ageing population and costly cutting-edge medical care, and say shifting to a public system would generate few savings."
The Swiss are not exactly Tea Party activists and even they can see the incredible stupidity of Obamacare.
Well good...oh, wait, Obama isn't the President of Switzerland.
Not yet but he would like to be president of the world if he could.
Oh snap! I've been listening to the conservative Obama haters here telling me for 6 years how out of touch and incapable he is. They've been saying that he is indecisive and uninvolved in world affairs.
Now I find out that he has been secretly plotting to take over the entire world, including Switzerland.
Go figure

Being stupid and lazy doesn't mean he can't be dangerous. He is trying to shred the Constitution in the US. When he is Secretary General of the UN you will remember your post. He received the Nobel Peace Prize for accomplishing absolutely nothing. Who knows what radical liberals have in store for him.
If I was a guy who started a topic claiming that the Swiss rejected Obamacare while in fact they have been enjoying state sponsored healthcare since 1996 I would probably try to be invisible in the next few weeks.
You lost any credibility you might have had and then some.

Well, the Swiss clearly do not have the very, very, very smart bureaucratic masterminds that we enjoy here in the US.
We in the US have come to understand that we need these bureaucrats to stand between us and our doctors. The ignorant Swiss still believe a doctor knows better then a bureaucrat whether his 12 year old patient should get a lung transplant or not.
The ignorant people might think that their costs are rising and the quality and freedom of choice are deteriorating, but we in the US are smart enough to know, that all we need to do is ask a bureaucrat, and they will tells us the exact opposite.
Bottom line is this, bureaucrats no better than the people, what is best for them, even if the people are to freaking ignorant to understand it for themselves.
You appear to have missed that the system the Swiss voted to keep is very much akin to what the ACA has instituted. Probably should have read the thread, not just the OP.
Ask the 200,000 people in Kentucky that just received health insurance for the first time what they think of ADA. As a friend of mine that finally could buy health insurance despite having once had cancer. an unregulated health insurance market is nothing more than a license to collude to steal from the many to provide luxuries for the few.
That is one of the most misleading thread titles I've ever seen on this forum. When did Switzerland, one of the most neutral countries on Earth, become a U.S. territory or a state? The Swiss never "rejected" Obamacare, as there was no Obamacare to reject in the first place!
Otherwise, I'm glad that the Swiss have found a health care system that works for them.
