Actually it's mainly owned by customers rather than staff.

For the doctors, its a high standard of living. Where do you think all the money for insurance premiums ends?

So basically, if the insurance premiums increase by 5% from the previous year, the doctors (on average) earn 5% more than the previous year. Simple math

Simple and wrong.

Somehow I doubt that's the kind of math they teach at ETH..

Did you went to Trump "university" by any chance?

So where else does the money from insurance premium end?
keep in mind that money is neither created, nor destroyed, its transfered.

The smartasses at ETH get taught rap!

Depends where the ire of your conspiracy theory lies. Some will insist it's "big pharma" skimming it all off.

Outside of Troll world, there is something called "Prämienverbilligung".

Also, 500 CHF per month for the monthly bill is about 50% too high. (usually not above 330-350 CHF)

Educate yourself on real numbers and real life before you make yourself looking (even worse) in public.

omtatsat is forward looking. 350 Fr is for now, in a few years it will get to 500 Fr.

You talk rubbish! I pay 400 a month and its the cheapest insurance company.( Assura ) I only have a 300 CHF minimum. YEs there is Premium Verbilligung but you really have to be earning little to qualify. As I said at least 1 months wages go here for someone earning 6000 a month. Get off your high horse!

...in the shareholders' pockets maybe

No, insurance companies can not pay dividends, they must allocate any surplus profit in capital reserves. But at the end all the money will end up to the doctors.

And the CEO of the insurance company. They earn many millions a year

You know that they don't make much off the back of the basic policies, don't you? They make money on the half-private and private supplementary insurance. Both are optional.

6000 a year is a lot. I spend 1/2 of that.

For now...

We are talking about now. Or did I miss something?

My health insurance has gone up 15F in 5 years. It's not likely to double any time soon.

Only 15 Fr in 5 years? Did you increase the deductibles, or switch to cheaper models?

Same insurance. Same deductible. I pay less than 300 a month. 500 seems really higher to me.

Years didn't have 15 months last time I checked.
400 x 12 = 4800, not 6000 (you are not converting brutto to netto salary here, are you?)

Also, only yourself to "blame" for choosing the lowest deductible and paying the premium for it (cca. 100 CHF increase monthly).
