    In Switzerland, patients pay up to 8% of their personal income towards the cost of a basic insurance plan. If their premiums work out to more than 8% of their income, the government provides a cash subsidy to cover the difference.

    My point in this whole thing is that everyone in Switzerland has healthcare and that healthcare is subsidized to be more affordable than in the US. That would be a left wing program here.

      No. Not everyone have it. And this is not true. Health insurance can cost over 20%.

      I am not insured because I cannot afford it. Which means I am technically breaking the law.

      Only left wing states like geneva, which also has that minimum wage, offer those generous subsidies.

      I would not trust a website made for rich expats.
