Der Kanton Zürich ist da eher etwas knauserig. RentnerInnen und Familien haben schwer an der Belastung durch die Krankenkassenprämien zu tragen.

Es ist höchst umstritten, ob die Lebenserwartung tatsächlich steigt.

Dass wir zu viel Zucker zu uns nehmen ist klar. Besonders in Süssgetränken und Schleckwaren. Da wäre eine Beschränkung sehr gesund. Ob es über eine Zuckersteuer gehen soll, ist eine andere Frage.

Should insured persons contribute more to health care costs (e.g., increase the minimum deductible)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
ja, unbedingt. Es ist haarsträubend, wie oft Menschen wegen Bagatellen die Notfallstationen überrennen. Ich bin für eine Franchise von mindestens Fr. 1'000.-

Should the Federal Council's ability to restrict private and economic life in the event of a pandemic be more limited?

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Aber die verhaltensauffälligen SuS (Schülerinnen und Schüler) gehören in Kleinklassen. Sie stören die anderen SuS und die Lehrpersonen; und sie selben haben mehr Mühe, sich zu konzentrieren, als wenn sie in kleinen Klassen betreut würden.
Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma
Should the federal government raise the requirements for the gymnasiale matura?

Comment
Nein, wir sollten unsere Leute besser ausbilden. Und vor allem sollten die Abtreibungen eingeschränkt werden. Wir verlieren jedes Jahr mehr als 10'000 Kinder durch Tötung im Mutterleib.
Asylum procedures outside Europe
Do you support efforts to house asylum seekers in centers outside Europe during the asylum procedure?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|

Sicher! Je näher sie bei ihrem Ursprungsland bleiben, desto eher gehen sie wieder nach Hause (wo es ihnen sicher am wohlsten ist. Ausser natürlich bei echten Flüchtlingen. Die sind aber in der Unterzahl.)

Wir haben zu wenig Strom, um ganz umzustellen. Aber ich würde eine Beschränkung von Grösse, Gewicht und Treibstoffverbrauch sehr begrüssen und mich im Nationalrat dafür einsetzen.

Should the state guarantee a comprehensive public service offering also in rural regions?

Wenn wir schon von Tieren profitieren, dann sollen sie wenigstens ein angenehmes Leben haben. Ausserdem ist bekannt, dass Tiere, die Zugang ins Freie haben, weniger krank sind und daher auch weniger Medikamente brauche. Darüber sind wir doch froh, wenn wir nicht Rückstände davon in der Nahrung haben :)

Neutral kommt von Lateinisch ne uter, das heisst: weder noch! Ich kann im Leben auch nicht neutral sein. Ich muss doch und will Stellung beziehen. Die Neutralität der Schweiz hat zu negativen Auswirkungen geführt: Nazi-Waffentransporte durch die Schweiz, Zurückweisung der Flüchtlinge (bes. der Juden) an der Grenze.
