Quote:Thanks for proving my point. The fee schedules are established by the government. BTW, did you get this from the Forbes article without reading the nest paragraph? Just wondering how you got the info you did without catching the government setting the reimbursements.

 

1.) I never stated that the Swiss system was perfect. 

2.) As we have stated above, Medicare already acts as a defacto government benchmark for fee schedules.  We still have the same challenges. 

3.) We've already talked about the importance of cost transparency and consumer choice. 

4.) Just as an aside, we currently have more than 150% of the entire population of Switzerland living in the country as undocumented aliens. 

5.) The Labor force participation rate in Switzerland is over 80% here its just over 60%,  They have conversations about how best to deliver care within their communal values and not as much about half the country trying to piggy back the other half.
