Should the federal government allocate more funding for health insurance premium subsidies?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

It is also important that premium reductions are skimmed so that people with low incomes also benefit.
Wichtig ist es auch, dass die Prämienverbilligungen abgeschöpft werden, damit Menschen mit geringem Einkommen auch davon profitieren.

For married couples, the pension is currently limited to 150% of the maximum individual AHV pension (capping). Should this limit be eliminated?

Parents should decide this individually.
Das sollen Eltern individuell entscheiden.
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
A tax would certainly make sense for public health, but on the other hand the population should be able to decide for itself what food it consumes.

Federal competence for national hospital planning
Should the federal government be given the authority to determine the hospital offering (national hospital planning with regard to locations and range of services)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In order to keep health care costs in check, supraregional hospital planning is indispensable in the medium term. Either across the cantons, or via the federal government.
Um die Gesundheitskosten im Rahmen zu halten, ist eine überregionale Spitalplanung mittelfristig unabdingbar. Entweder über die Kantone hinweg, oder über den Bund.
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
As far as the learning goals are achieved in the school classes, this is absolutely sensible. Alternative solutions must also be found for unruly children.
Soweit in den Schulklassen die Lernziele erreicht werden, ist die unbedingt sinnvoll. Für renitente Kinder müssen ebenso alternative Lösungen gefunden werden.

Should the federal government raise the requirements for the gymnasiale matura?

Should the state be more committed to equal educational opportunities (e.g., through subsidized remedial courses for students from low-income families)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Education is the most important asset in Switzerland. Financially weaker children must not suffer and be able to take advantage of their educational opportunities.
Bildung ist das wichtigste Gut in der Schweiz. Finanziell schwächer gestellte Kinder dürfen darunter nicht leiden und ihre Bildungschancen wahrnehmen können.

Der Schwarzhandel muss verschwinden. Für Cannabis sollen Regeln im gleichen Rahmen wie für Alkohol gelten.
Authorize active euthanasia
Would you be in favour of doctors being allowed to administer direct active euthanasia in Switzerland?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Provided that it is justifiable for the individual physicians within the framework of their medical ethics. Coercion would send out absolutely the wrong signal.
Sofern es für die einzelnen Ärzte im Rahmen ihrer medizinischen Ethik vertretbar ist. Ein Zwang wäre das absolut falsche Signal.

Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?

|---|---|---|---|
Introduce a national inheritance tax

Comment
This is to be defined by the cantons on the basis of their tax power.
Das sollen die Kantone auf Basis ihrer Steuerkraft definieren.
Strengthen financial equalization between the cantons
Should the differences between cantons with high and low financial capacity be further reduced through fiscal equalization?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The OECD minimum tax generates additional revenue for the financially strong cantons. It makes sense to take these revenues into account in the calculation of fiscal equalization.
Die OECD-Mindeststeuer sorgt für Mehreinnahmen bei den finanzstarken Kantonen. Es ist sinnvoll, im Rahmen des Finanzausgleichs diese Einnahmen in der Kalkulation zu berücksichtigen.

Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
Highway expansion is to be limited to what is absolutely necessary. The focus should be on new work models but also on the increased use of mass transportation.

Ban new registrations of combustion engine vehicles from 2035
Should Switzerland ban the registration of new passenger cars with internal combustion engines starting in 2035?

Ensure a comprehensive range of public services
Should the state guarantee a comprehensive public service offering also in rural regions?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The question of the design must be defined. Depending on the region, public services can also be provided by private partners. It is important that the population can use the services.
Die Frage der Ausgestaltung ist zu definieren. Öffentliche Dienstleistungen können je nach Region auch durch private Partner übernommen werden. Wichtig ist, dass die Bevölkerung die Leistungen nutzen kann.

|---|---|---|---|

Digitizing public services

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It must be possible to use the e-ID as quickly as possible and across the board. Uniform standards in the area of data protection and data storage accelerate digitization processes.

Strengthening regulation of big internet platforms
Are you in favor of stronger regulation of the major Internet platforms (i.e., transparency rules on algorithms, increased liability for content, combating disinformation)?

Lowering TV and radio license fees
A popular initiative aims to reduce television and radio fees (CHF 200 per household, exemption for businesses). Do you support this initiative?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Media consumption is changing. Radio and television must be able to hold their own in an international context, but the focus should be on information. On the other hand, the time for full entertainment programs is over. Streaming services play a much stronger role here. It must also be questioned whether there is a need for state-run third and fourth programs in individual language regions. A discussion about the level of the levies therefore makes sense in principle.
Der Medienkonsum verändert sich. Radio und Fernsehen muss sich im internationalen Kontext behaupten können, der Fokus soll aber fokussiert bei der Information liegen. Hingegen ist die Zeit für Unterhaltungs-Vollprogramme vorbei. Hier spielen Streamingdienste eine viel stärkere Rolle. Auch muss hinterfragt werden, ob es staatlich geführte dritte und vierte Programme in einzelnen Sprachregionen benötigt. Eine Diskussion über die Höhe der Abgaben ist deshalb im Grundsatz sinnvoll.
