Popular initiative "For a public health insurance fund" (2014)
Categories: State and Politics › Votes › Domestic policy
The popular initiative aims to change the current system. It calls for a single national health insurance fund organized under public law to provide social health insurance for all insured persons. The public health insurance fund would have cantonal or intercantonal agencies. Their main tasks would be to set premiums for their area and to reimburse benefits, in particular medical treatment, medicines, and hospital stays.
The proposal was rejected by the electorate and the cantons.
Proportion of voters: 47.2%
Yes votes: 38.2%
