Hi,

One question I have which would assist in choosing an appropriate deductible is the cost of health care: for example, a common-enough illness is strep throat. If someone comes down with strep throat, s/he must go to the doctor who must take a throat swab. This then goes to the lab and antibiotics must be prescribed upon a positive swab.

How much would this whole procedure cost? If seeing a doctor is like 300 CHF a pop, picking a high deductible makes little sense. Can someone thus estimate the cost of getting sick a couple of times a year?

Thank you.
