Does Mcdonalds Make Its Own Meat

RETIREMENT TO SWITZERLAND: FAULTS AND VIRTUES (II)

promise, one day, telling of the many qualities and continued advantages of Geneva - swear by all that any-, circumstances lead me, so obliged, to first describe those situations that make you an uncontested in his own job, your nightstand or in a cozy sofa after a hard day of suspicion, insights and reflections.

I still believe, by the first, in the liberalism as the least wrong of political, economic social and human, the way that, like it or not, is able to give more freedom more people. Although the compensation is a brutal growing inequality, I consider it the most fair, clean and safe to progress (which ultimately means more and better drugs, clean energy cheaper, shorter and safer travel ...) .

However, these months that I have learned both have helped me to look at capitalism straight in the eye, face to face, without books or experts or economists or through magazines. The irrefutable postulate

liberal that a private healthcare, for example, is much more effective than public, since the existing degree of competition lowers the market and creates competition which results in service improvements, as I have seen, is much better in a book that in the hard cold reality. I mean,

Switzerland has a huge system of compulsory private healthcare, and sometimes semi (exceptional cases of birth or refugee cases Politics and UN officials). Each person, being a person and live here, is obliged to take out insurance from a monthly average cost of 500 CHF, say around 300 euros (when speaking of person does not mean family, if not individual, but to 16 years pay 80 euros a month). The franchise, which is what you pay in case of accident, is usually fixed, approximately in the 1200 CHF, about 800 euros. The rest, always in case of accident, pays for the insurance company.

understand that medical services, especially in a country like Switzerland have a high maintenance, that everything is paid little and that the "something you want something hard."

What is harder to digest is that if for some reason you forget to pay those fees without household, is a newcomer, looking for work or you do not have the insurance properly because of lack of language vehicular, pray that a God that does not happen anything, that does not twist an ankle or not caught the flu because rot in the street like a dog, coughing, bleeding or bile, which, as it has not properly paid insurance, no one moved a finger to help in the home of hospitality and the Red Cross .

Swiss People feel pretty quiet with this system and religiously pay their dues to avoid any accidents. If insurers have surplus at year end lower insurance fees, an issue for which the Swiss avoid any type of illness or injury and will look at you wrong when, inadvertently, suffers.
- more expensive it cost me, doctor?
- NO! unless a cure is



Thus, it is now when I have felt about the more human question of health, far from liberal theories I read in my living room when I have been in the ring, proving that a free market of medical services is not as competent as I had imagined, questioning if it is more useful to the right to be assisted by the fact that my tax contributions and the possibility of buying private services that the obligation of paying eternal universal compulsory private health insurance (from 0 to 99 years) priced about that, frankly, not at all competitive but, rather, quite expensive even for solid pay of a Swiss. Serve

entry Therefore, to detach a bit of sound impeccably liberal theories, which are, to check it, effective, of course, but not infallible.
