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
The state must guarantee sufficient, accessible healthcare for all segments of the population. Premiums should be based on income, and rates should be progressive, like taxes.
L'État doit garantir une santé suffisante et accessible à toutes les catégories de la population. Les primes devraient être en fonction du revenu et les taux progressifs, comme pour l'impôt.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
I'm in favor of a system where there are no annuities linked to the capitalization of a portion of income. The share of capital in national income has continued to grow over the past 30 years. A greater share of capital income should be used to finance pensions that enable people to live in dignity in Switzerland.
Je suis favorable à un système où il n'y aurait pas de rentes liées à la capitalisation d'une partie du revenu. La partie du capital dans le Revenu national continue de s'accroitre depuis 30 ans. Une peartie plus grande des revenus du capital doivent financer les retraites permettant de vivre dignement en Suisse

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
Instead, we should learn to consume less. Require manufacturers to display much larger amounts of sugar in food and beverages.
Il faudrait plutôt apprendre à moins en consommer. Obliger les fabriquants à signaler en beaucoup plus grand les quantités de sucre qu'ils mettent sdans les aliments et boissons.
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
The price of premiums is scandalously high, and a millionaire pays the same premiums as an unemployed person. We need to take healthcare out of the market. Healthcare provision is largely liberalized, but the only competition is between healthcare players to see who can line their pockets the most, notably drug manufacturers and health insurance company directors.
Le prix des primes est scandaleusement haut et un millionnaire paye les mêmes primes qu'un chômeur. Il faut sortir la santé du marché. L'offre de santé est largement libéralisée, mais lseule concurrence est entre acteurs de la santé à qui s'en met plus plein les poches, notamment les producteurs de médicaments et les dirigeants des caisses maladie.
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?

Le même principe doit valoir pour la lutte contre la crise climatique. Le libre marché est incapable de résoudre les probèmes dans l'intérêt général.

In Geneva, 8 years' residence in Switzerland is enough to qualify for communal voting rights. These people should also have the right to stand for election at the 3 institutional levels: communal, cantonal and federal.
À Genève 8 ansde domicile en Suisse suffisent pour avoir le droit de vote communal. Ces personnes devraient avoir aussi le droit d'éligibilité aux 3 niveaux institutionnels communal, cantonal et fédéral
