Yellow everyone!
Here's my story... I came to Switzerland for my postgraduate studies, so during my first year here I wasnt obliged to get a health insurance, for the EU one I have was accepted.
After that I worked for 6 months, but from Januarz I have been jobless.
About that time I received a letter from the city of Zurich, concerning my health insurance. As always I sent them my EU card, requesting for it to be accepted.

Just 20 days ago I received a letter, informing me that my request hadn't been accepted and that I should get a swiss health insurance.

My question is, (1) should and can I make this insurance count for the 5 months I had been waiting and was jobless?

(2) I also saw the comparis site, do I want an insurance with low premium? I mean, I do only go to the doctor when I am in Greece and I still have my EU insurance card.
(3) How about Assura? I saw them here.

Thanx!!!!
