| I have Diabetes & so obviously had this condition when I came to Switzerland. I thought all residents had to have insurance no matter what sort of health they are in.
I have a 500CHF deductible but my monthly premium is certainly more than 200CHF per month (400CHF). I would think your friend would have a higher monthly premium because of the illness. | |

Shop around...your premium will be high because your 'deductible' is low...and you probably have 'half private' or 'private' cover.
I can highly recommend Jenny - she's on the forum - search for 'insurancejenny' - she will talk through the options and set you up with a competitive quote...
You will pay somewhere between 250-400chf a month for your 'compulsory' cover - consider it 'extra tax'...rolled together our health insurance plus tax plus other 'compulsory' items ends up around 20% of our income.
The big 'plus' is that the health care system is very efficient...I've not had to wait more than 15 minutes for a drop-in service, hospital or specialist appointment...
