|---|---|---|---|
Health insurance premiums
Should the federal government allocate more funding for health insurance premium subsidies?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It is important to support those with low incomes so that it is also worthwhile to work in the low-wage sector and thus to balance out social inequality.
Es gilt diejenigen mit den tiefen Einkommen zu unterstützen, sodass es sich auch im Tieflohnbereich lohnt, einer Arbeitstätigkeit nachzugehen und so die soziale Ungleichheit auszubalancieren.
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
A uniform regulation for all life models must be worked out. It cannot be that married couples have to get divorced in order to pay massively less taxes or to get a fair AHV pension.
Es muss eine einheitliche Regelung für alle Lebensmodelle erarbeitet werden. Es kann nicht sein, dass Ehepaare sich scheiden lassen müssen um massiv weniger Steuern zu bezahlen oder eine faire AHV Rente zu bekommen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

Creating transparency is important here and the young should not pay the costs of the older generation.
Transparenz schaffen ist hier wichtig und die Jungen sollen nicht die Kosten der älteren Generation bezahlen.

All are at risk if individuals do not participate.
Alle sind gefährdet, wenn einzelne nicht mit machen.
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
Sugar has been proven to be unhealthy. There is also an alcohol tax. We should try to keep our health costs within acceptable limits. High sugar consumption has been proven to make people ill and to cause high health costs.
Zucker ist erwiesenermassen ungesund. Es gibt ja auch eine Alkoholsteuer. Wir sollten versuchen unsere Gesundheitskosten zu in einem akzeptablen Rahmen zu behalten. Ein hoher Zuckerkonsum macht nachweislich krank und verursacht hohe Gesundheitskosten.

Comment
It must not be the case that every hospital does everything. Special hospitals with proven outcome results and a national planning of center hospitals would make sense.
Es darf nicht sein, dass jedes Spital alles macht. Spezialkliniken mit ausgewiesenem Outcome Ergebnis und eine nationale Planung von Zentrumsspitälern wäre sinnvoll.
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 |

Inclusion in our society and in everyday life is important to create acceptance and to reduce prejudices. In this way, these people can then be integrated more easily into working life and make their contribution.
Inklusion in unserer Gesellschaft und im Alltag ist wichtig um Akzeptanz zu schaffen und Vorurteile abzubauen. So können diese Personen danach auch im Arbeitsleben einfacher integriert werden und ihren Beitrag leisten.

With life expectancy steadily increasing and retirees becoming more and more sprightly, it is important to adapt the retirement age to the new form of society in order to be able to guarantee our prosperity in the future as well. As a society, however, we must also ensure that older employees can continue to be integrated into working life in the future and create appropriate jobs as well as support lifelong learning and the willingness to change.
Mit der stetig steigenden Lebenserwartung und den immer rüstigeren Rentner ist es wichtig, das Rentenalter der neu entstehende Gesellschaftsform anzupassen um unseren Wohlstand auch zukünftig gewährleisten zu können. Als Gesellschaft müssen wir aber auch dafür sorgen, dass ältere Arbeitnehmende auch zukünftig ins Arbeitsleben integriert werden können und entsprechende Stellen schaffen sowie das lifelong learning sowie die Changebereitschaft unterstützen.
