The Swiss Health Care System Vs. The U.S. Health Care System

Saturday February 25, 2006
This article compares our health care system with that of Switzerland. All Swiss citizens are required by law to purchase their own health insurance. Their government negotiates set, fixed prices every year for health care services and medications. They can see any doctor they choose and are happy with the quality of care they receive. And in the end, they pay less for their health care than Americans do.
