Just finished applying for 2024 health insurance through the healthcare.gov marketplace.

Good news! This might be the first year I pay less than $30,000 for medical coverage! (Assuming I stay out of the hospital).

@geerlingguy we pay $1200 per month in Switzerland for 2 adults and 3 kids for the compulsory health insurance. 10% more than last year.

@resmo @geerlingguy we pay about 1k a month for two adults and two kids, though my employer pays another 1k.

So, 2k a month.

Then we have to pay copay, or "cost sharing" with the insurance company.

Does Switzerland require you to pay for you healthcare in addition to the money you've already paid for healthcare?

@b4ux1t3 @resmo @geerlingguy yes, you pay the first 500-2000 costs by yourself by contract which influences the monthly fix cost. Usually you do 2000 unless you know you will have higher costs in advance like chronic illness or give birth
