Welfare state & family

Do you support an increase in the retirement age (e.g., to 67)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Health insurance premiums
Should the federal government allocate more funding for health insurance premium subsidies?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Die Krankenkassenkosten selber müssen gesenkt werden können. Es kann nicht sein, dass der Staat das Gesundheitswesen noch mehr subventioniert. Zudem ist das Sache der Kantone nicht des Bundes
Pensions for married couples
For married couples, the pension is currently limited to 150% of the maximum individual AHV pension (capping). Should this limit be eliminated?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Die AHV kann sich die Auflösung der Begrenzung kaum leisten.
Reduce LPP pensions
As part of the reform of the BVG (occupational pension plan), pensions are to be reduced (lowering the minimum conversion rate from 6.8% to 6%). Are you in favor of this measure?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Es gilt das gleiche wie bei der AHV, die BVG können es sich nicht mehr leisten auf dem Umwandlungssatz von 6.8% zu verharren. Um eine Reform erfolgreich durchzuführen ist die Senkung leider unumgänglich.
Extend parental leave
Should paid parental leave be increased beyond today's 14 weeks of maternity leave and two weeks of paternity leave? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Die bezahlte Elternzeit ist für die Arbeitgeber bereits jetzt schon eine grosse Belastung und Herausforderung, ressourcen- und finanztechnisch. Nebst Militär und Ferien eine weitere Fehlzeit die beim Arbeitskräftemangel herausfordernd für Unternehmer ist.
Further encourage the construction of social housing
Should the federal government provide more financial support for public housing construction? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Health
Introduce compulsory vaccination for children
Should compulsory vaccination of children be introduced based on the Swiss vaccination plan?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Impfen ist eine persönliche Angelegenheit. Das wäre einen massiven Eingriff in die Persönlichkeitsrechte. Andernfalls müsste Übergewicht und ungesunde Lebensweisen wie Alkohol-, Drogen-, Zucker- und Tabakkonsum ebenfalls verboten werden um das Gesundheitswesen zu entlasten oder ansteckende Krankheiten zu minimieren. Ich bin für Prävention in der Gesundheitsvorsorge und unterstütze Bewegung und gesunde Ernährung!
Introduce a tax on sugary foods
Are you in favor of the introduction of a tax on foods containing sugar (sugar tax)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Zucker ist ein zu günstiges Produkt das in fast allen verarbeiteten Lebensmittel zu finden ist und ein bereits bekannter Auslöser für viele Krankheiten ist. Besser würde ich finden, Zucker, Konservierungsmittel und andere schädliche Inhaltsstoffe würden in der Lebensmittelindustrie eingeschränkt verwendet werden dürfen.
Contribution to healthcare costs
Should insured persons contribute more to health care costs (e.g., increase the minimum deductible)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
Die Gesundheitskosten müssen an sich gesenkt werden! Die Menschen müssen mehr Eigenverantwortung übernehmen und sich gesund erhalten. Deshalb, wer gesünder lebt, soll die Freiheit haben, sich günstiger versichern zu können.
Limit the powers of the Federal Council in the event of a pandemic
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
Ich bin befürworte den Einbezug des Parlaments und nicht das Eigenmächtige Handeln des Bundesrates. Wir leben in einer Demokratie, das Parlament soll seine Meinung einbringen können.
Federal competence for national hospital planning

Comment
Das ist Sache der Kantone, sich untereinander abzusprechen.
Education
Inclusive schooling
According to the Swiss integrated schooling concept, children with learning difficulties or disabilities should be taught in regular classes. Do you approve of this concept?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Ich sehe den Mehrwert darin, dass die Akzeptanz gegenseitig grösser wird. Wir sollten beeinträchtigte Menschen genauso wie Migranten integrieren. Im Gegenteil, wenn sich beeinträchtige Kinder nur unter sich bewegen, grenzt sie das zur restlichen Gesellschaft ab und sie lernen weniger selbständig zu sein. Ziel ist es, allen Menschen ein selbst bestimmtes und selbständiges Leben zu ermöglichen und nicht vom Staat abhängig zu sein.
Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma
Should the federal government raise the requirements for the gymnasiale matura?

Immigration & integration
Make naturalization requirements more flexible
Should the conditions for naturalization be relaxed (e.g., shorter residence period)?

Unbedingt. Die Ausnutzugsziffer sollte abgeschafft werden, da die Höhen und Grenzabstände gegeben sind. Andernfalls hat das sogenannte "verdichtete Bauen" keine Chance.
Wage equality between women and men
Are you in favor of stricter controls on equal pay for women and men?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Löhne sind Sache der Sozialpartner. Löhne sind verhandelbar, Frauen müssen sich besser "verkaufen" können.

Should Switzerland ban the registration of new passenger cars with internal combustion engines starting in 2035?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Bei Strommangellage sind Elektrofahrzeuge keine Lösung und Alternativen fehlen noch, deshalb nein. Ich würde andere Nachhaltige und zu Ende gedachte Lösungen, den Verbrennungsmotoren, aber vorziehen. Verbote sind nicht zielführend.

Comment
Ich bevorzuge Unverpacktes und vermeide Plastik wann immer möglich. Es sollten diesbezüglich mehr Anreize statt Verbote gemacht werden. Die Abschaffung von Gratisplastiksäcken in Läden war schon mal ein guter Anfang.
