List of Swiss Healthcare

...

It is about 15 years ago when the Swiss healthcare System started financially to explode for Swiss People which payd yarsly 10% more for it. It was then the same time where politicians have been talking and talking about this same Thing over and over again and what finally happened it just all got worse and Prices still increase in average every year by 10%. Maybe you do not wonder about when you know all those politicians are playing puppets of lobbiers having certain interests. And this Lobby being behind the Swiss doctors and pharmacy industry is very powerful. And of course they just have one Thing in mind what is, how to optimize profits and let Swiss People in a credible way believe it was important to improve healtcare payments once again by 10%.

You maybe once would have expected when those politicians talked about it, they would find Workarounds about how not to let those doctors fully getting out of control together with the pharma Lobby. Maybe it would have been an apprach then when high Technology Systems as MRI and other expensive Hospital Equipment came up to say, they should have put it all together at a centralized place where every doctor around working in same building could have used it. But it came all different.

You got in the meantime everywhere a hungry doctor having to feed a hungry Family with kids. With their taxpoint systsem no one understands about in Switzerland they are able to make incredible incomes what finally attracted doctors from all over Europe to participate this celebration of upper incomes in Europe.

Basicly what happened then to explain you, when you are sick you will run. You will run first to your registered house doctor which will tell you will Need to consult another specialist doctor, which of course is a friend of this house doctors and behind they dealt out any commissions. Now your house doctor is likely a German and sometimes you will ask yourself where all the Swiss doctors remained as you rarely will find one in this Country. Your German house doctor then sends you to a German doctor in another 100km Diameter to get your MRI scan done. Afterwards you will consult the specialist maybe making finally an surgery Operation on you and you will run another 100km to this doctors Office. Finally this doctor then explains you about is is operating in a Hospital being another 70 Kilometers located in another direction. You then will run back to your house doctor which Needs to explain you the whole confusion and after Operation you will finally do the whole mess once again.

With the doctors and their Lobby it is Kind of hte same as with the lawyers. You should watch out, they are never getting out of control as what they finally more are than doctors is...they all are very hungry for money. You better call them Business men and when they once finish their University degreee after Ages and almost 10 years of being a Student, they all think they will Need to do fortunes in a short time.

Imagine you are sick and Need something to be done, you likely often when being sick are not really in the mood to altogether run 1000 Kilometers to visit all those differnt doctors and their facilities.

Then you would think maybe the powerful insurances would once do something against this exploitment of the System, but why would they as all they want is driving Prices high as well and give it back to the conumers then. The Business with sick People is of course the best ever as there is no way around. And this is what they are playing with. Business doctors.

Maybe often Swiss People ask themselves about, why the fuck when we are going to a Hospital do we got a German doctor everywhere as we still are in Switzerland and do not really appreciate all those floods of foreign doctor which once have been running into Switzerland when they recognized how big fortunes they are able to do abroad. But the fact is somehow, the Swiss doctors are even working more expensive than that. As an example talking about a 10000 Dollar for a Swiss private clinic small surgery but if you want to stay over night at this clinic you will pay once again a 10000 Dollars just for a German Nurse is watching you. The clinic is called Schulthess and those going there are as you heard the Sheiks flying with their private jets in at night when they once hear when furting it sounds strange.

The Thing with the Germans working in Switzerland is basicly all over the same. They are just interested with making as much money as possible in a short time. But beside of the Swiss mentality those Germans are basicly and mostly quite unscrupulous. They got another mentality than the Swiss in average and a different thinking. And of course they usually give a damn about Long term issues. So it all got a quick thing where a crowd of European doctors and nurses try to make quick money.

It would have been far better making once in every Region a bigger hosptial with all sort of facilities where you put all those doctors under the same Roof and watch out they share those expensive Equipments. But instead now every single doctors got now his endoscopy, MRI, CT-Scan and whatever other apparates to Keep alive even they are barely used.

Another Thing is to tell those doctors once where the Limit is reached with writing bills, no matter whatever good lobby they have. So, this whole Thing with Swiss healthcare got fully out of control and into a fully wrong direction in past and finally whatever those politicians have been talking about within the last 15 years on ARENA SRF talker Groups was just one Thing. Hot air for nothing, what is quite usual with politicians.

What it means finally for a Swiss Family is, they just pay up to 20 percent of their income for healtcare insurances and this really does hurt Swiss People in average as you hear them mourn every single year by now when once again Swiss healthcare Prices go up another 10%.

As well with this whole index about Prices in Switzerland they let People know about the Prices alltogether over the last 15 years stayed stable but Forget bside of property Prices which increased by 100-300 percent depending on Location to talk about healthcare Prices to mention which inproved the same way. All this what they are talking about is, a pack of noodle being still same expensive as before and about the real Facts they often Forget to mention about when calculating those Price Indexes giving the base for political bla bla discusssions. Maybe there might be stupid People which still buy those things, but about healthcare Prices the Swiss People are haavy thinking about where it all leads. And no one is then really happy about having even a cheap German doctor for all what it costs.

No idea aobut how many doctors and Nurse to find in Swiss hosptials, beside of all other nations from Roomania and whatever doing any cheap Jobs. But you barely find any Swiss people working and wonder a life Long where those Swiss doctors all stayed.

Beside of this whole mess you got the pharma industry which is Lobbying the government in a same way to watch out Prices improve in an adequate way. All medication bought in Switzerland is having any Special Prices compared by neighbouring Countries and as you always Need a recipe there is no way around. You can say we Swiss People are very tight in Hands of the pharma Lobby and no one then wonders about the Billion Dollar Profit improves of companies like Novartis.

One Thing to mention for you when coming to Switzerland and visiting a Hospital, no matter of it is a mental hosptial or not. The pharma Lobby is doing experiments with you when being in a univeristy clinic. This is quite logic and you might use your commmon sense but most People Forget about and finally 10 years later mourn about Hearing in the News a medication once tested on them was taken back from market as it caused any liver damages or whatever it was. And about how this all works the neighter the doctors nor the pharma industry will explain you as they will wipe it all below the carpets. When going to a Hospital at least choose one where they not make free experiments on you to be one hte safe side.

Switzerland has several cantonal hospitals in every of the 26 cantons but to visit one you need usually to talk first with a home doctor as Long it is not emergency what means you then run from one to another doctor first before ending up int the Hospital finally. Of course Switzerland got private clinics as well, but those to pay is usually out of range of as well average Swiss poeople with an average Swiss income. And those want to Play test Person go to one of the University clinics.

Having a health insurance is for Swiss citicens and those living in Switzerland a condition. When going to doctors or hospitals they will just mention the their name and the name of their insurance company or Show up witht the insurance car.

But if you are foreigner having no health insurance you might have a quite good loaded wallet when having health issues within this nation as even going to a public hospital will cost you at least finally 5-10 Grand alltogether for a smaller issue. About such things certain tourists coming for quick money reasons to Zurich often forget until it happens then.

Ordering an ambulance car in Switzerland costs usually a 800 to 1000 Dollar up. An MRI scan is in the Region of 1300 Dollar. Visiting a doctor with a couple blood tests is a 1000 bucks. Often when having Special laboratory checkups every check is a 100 Dollars as those medical taxpoint Systems are optimized to drive the Price high in a very quick way. Certain foreigners maybe might consider about this before they finally make a Long face in front of a bill.
