Two other elected officials submitted texts at the end of December. These will be debated and voted on. Yvan Pahud (UDC/VD) calls for the approximately 130,000 people in asylum to no longer have health insurance, but for the Confederation to pay their health costs directly. This would reduce the costs borne by insurers, but would increase those borne by public coffers. As for Marcel Dobler (PLR/SG), he wants these same people, but also all those who do not pay their premiums themselves, to be forced to choose alternative insurance models (family doctor, telemedicine), less expensive than the standard model with free choice of doctor to which they are often entitled. “They are better insured than 80% of the population, who chose an alternative model,” criticizes the elected official.
