    Yeah, our system is quite ridiculous. Health insurance is mandatory in Switzerland. But we waste a lot of money paying health insurance marketing campaigns and sales forces. Its just a waste of money.

      Yeah, I don’t disagree with you there.

      I could’ve gone deeper into the insurance systems with the different plans and so on, I could’ve discussed how hospitals are funded and how workforce is being recruited. I worry a lot about our system and how it will look like by the time I will actually need it.

      Almost half our doctors will be retiring in the next 5 years.
