Swiss healthcare reform proposal faces mixed support and opposition from stakeholders
Switzerland's EFAS proposal aims to reform healthcare financing by having cantons cover 26.9% of costs for outpatient and inpatient services, while health insurers will cover 73.1%. This change, effective from 2028, seeks to promote outpatient care and alleviate the financial burden on insured individuals, though trade unions oppose it due to concerns over increased premiums for long-term care. Supporters include various political parties and healthcare associations, while the SP and trade unions lead the opposition.
swiss hospitals face financial crisis amid rising costs and stagnant fees
Swiss hospitals face a severe financial crisis, with two-thirds ending 2023 in the red, totaling a loss of one billion francs. Despite a 13% revenue increase since 2019, expenses rose by 17%, leading to job cuts and urgent calls for support from university hospitals to sustain care and research. The outpatient sector is particularly strained, with rates not adjusted for 20 years, necessitating immediate fee increases to meet operational demands.
