The Efas healthcare reform aims to standardize financing across cantons and health insurers, potentially easing the burden on premium payers by shifting costs to the cantons. While critics fear rising premiums, proponents argue that the reform will ultimately reduce costs, especially for outpatient care, and promote a more efficient healthcare system. The outcome of the vote is crucial, as failure to pass the reform could hinder future healthcare improvements.
At the Swiss SP Congress in Davos, delegates called for a public pharmaceutical strategy to address the drug crisis, emphasizing the need to curb excessive profits by the pharmaceutical industry and ensure affordable healthcare. Co-president Mattea Meyer highlighted the high cost of medicines in Switzerland compared to Europe and advocated for improved global access to essential medicines. A position paper was adopted, proposing the transformation of Sandoz into a public utility to secure a reliable supply of medicines in the public interest.
The Socialist Party has proposed the nationalization of Sandoz, advocating for its purchase by the Confederation to ensure a stable supply of essential medicines amid a growing shortage. Additionally, the party aims to abolish the debt brake, arguing it exacerbates societal divisions, and has called for increased support for victims of gender-based violence. Co-president Cédric Wermuth emphasized solidarity with all victims of the Middle East conflict, advocating for peace and coexistence.
