When you live in Switzerland, taking out health insurance is mandatory.
The benefits are the same with all providers and cover all necessary medical services. Comparing premiums still pays off, though, because the premiums vary strongly from one health insurance company to another. In part, these differences are due to the fact that the level of service provided by the insurance companies varies as well.
The amount of the premium itself is determined by the policyholder's place of residence, age, insurance model and deductible.
