Welfare state & family
Raise the retirement age to 67
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
If the state is not able to adjust the costs of medical products to the European level, as well as to transform university hospitals into profit-oriented enterprises, it should take responsibility and provide more funds for the health insurance premium.
Wenn der Staat nicht fähig ist die Kosten der Medizinale Produkte auf europäischen Niveau anzugleichen, sowie Universitätsspitäler im gewinnorientierte Unternehmungen umzuformen, soll er die Verantwortung übernehmen und mehr Mittel für die Krankenkassenprämie zur Verfügung stellen.
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
70% of married couples raise children and mostly the woman is still responsible for the care - then therefore, today less. During this time, these women can not pay PK as well as 3rd pillar and also bear the cost of the children, who are the future payers of the AHV. Thus, the same pension should be paid per person, regardless of the form of cohabitation.
70% der Ehepaare ziehen Kinder auf und zumeist ist immer noch die Frau für die Betreuung zuständig – damals daher, heute weniger. Während dieser Zeit können diese Frauen keine PK sowie 3. Säule einzahlen und zudem die Kosten für die Kinder tragen, welche die zukünftigen Einzahler der AHV sind. Somit sollte pro Person die gleiche Rente gezahlt werden, egal in welcher Form des Zusammenlebens.
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
First, the costs of managing the SNB should be reformed. A new model for management and transaction fees as well as the costs of the administrative apparatus must be introduced. The question also arises as to whether state actors, such as the National Bank, could run a state PF that could bring the many different PF providers into a healthy competitive situation, or whether these would no longer be necessary in the future. (Example Norway).
Erst sollten die Kosten für die Verwaltung der BVG reformiert werden. Es muss ein neues Modell für die Management- und Transaktionsgebühren sowie die Kosten des Verwaltungsapparat eingeführt werden. Ebenfalls stellt sich die Frage, ob nicht staatliche Akteure, wie die Nationalbank, eine Staats-PK führen könnten, welche die vielen verschiedenen PK Anbieter in eine gesunde Wettbewerbssituation bringen könnte oder somit diese gar nicht mehr zukünftig nötig wären. (Beispiel Norwegen).
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
For small and medium-sized enterprises, this is hardly financially viable and therefore unrealistic.
Für kleine kleinere und mittlere Unternehmen ist dies finanziell kaum tragbar und somit realitätsfremd.

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 |

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

They already will, because they have to pay health insurance premiums, which increase every year.
Dies werden sie bereits, da sie die Krankenkassenbeiträge zahlen müssen, die jedes Jahr steigen.

Utilization will increase due to prolonged life in old age. Seek new concepts to make university hospitals more profitable. Make the health care lobby more transparent and more restrictive.
Die Auslastung wird durch das verlängerte Leben im Alter zunehmen. Neue Konzepte suchen, damit Universitätsspitäler rentabler werden. Die Gesundheitslobby transparenter machen und stärker einschränken.
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
There are certainly many positive aspects to integration. Nevertheless, the burden on the teacher is great. Integrate integration into the daily school routine through regular events of various forms and types.
Es gibt sicher viele positive Aspekte für eine Integration. Dennoch ist die Belastung für die Lehrperson gross. Die Integration durch regelmässige Anlässen in verschiedener Form und Art in den Schulalltag integrieren.
Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma
Should the federal government raise the requirements for the gymnasiale matura?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The strength of the vocational apprenticeship and further education and training should be maintained. Uniform basic structures and binding goals for comparable degrees throughout Switzerland should be aimed for, without increasing the high school quota. Rather, the requirements for medical studies should be lowered so that we have more rural doctors in the future and in the region.
Die Stärke der Berufslehre und der weiteren Aus- und Weiterbildungen sollen beibehalten werden. Es sind einheitliche Grundstrukturen und verbindliche Ziele schweizweit vergleichbare Abschlüsse anzustreben, ohne die Gymnasialquote zu erhöhen. Eher die Anforderungen für das Arztstudium tiefer setzten, damit wir mehr Landärzte in der Zukunft und der Region haben.

Introduce progressive electricity tariffs
Would you be in favor of the introduction of increasing electricity tariffs when consumption is higher (progressive electricity tariffs)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Electricity is not a consumer good, but a necessity. All the more so in the future, when we do without fossil energies. As a result, electricity will be the only form of energy and therefore there will be enough. A progressive state planning would be more appropriate for this, with the goal: enough and at favorable prices, because this would also be a competitive advantage for the Swiss economy.
Strom ist kein Konsumgut, sondern eine Notwendigkeit. In der Zukunft umso mehr, wenn wir auf fossile Energien verzichten. Dadurch wird Strom die einzige Energieform sein und somit genügend vorhanden sein. Ein progressive Staatsplanung wäre hierfür eher angebracht, mit dem Ziel: genügend und zu günstigen Preisen, denn dies wäre auch ein Wettbewerbsvorteil für die Schweizer Wirtschaft.

Comment
Older job seekers have little chance of finding work. Many companies do not pay the additional costs. The increase in long-term unemployment or in social assistance drives up prices and health insurance premiums.
Ältere Arbeitssuchende haben nur geringe Chance eine Arbeit zu finden. Viele Firmen zahlen die Mehrkosten nicht. Die Erhöhung der Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit oder in der Sozialhilfe treiben die Preise und Krankenkassenprämien in die höhe.
