The cost of living is rising, it needs an adjustment to the new circumstances. Just because you are married (or similar) does not mean that there will be less costs than if you are not.

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
It is about an intervention in the personal freedom of each person. I think vaccination is mostly sensible, but we are in a free country and everyone has the right to decide for themselves (and their underage relatives). However, there should be an obligatory-induvidual consultation.
Es geht um ein Eingriff in die Persönliche Freiheit jedes Menschen. Ich halte die Impfung meistens für Sinnvoll, jedoch sind wir in einem freiheitlichen Land und jeder hat das Recht darauf für sich (und die unmündigen Angehörigen) selber zu entscheiden. Es müsste jedoch eine obligatorische-induviduelle Beratung geben.

It has been proven that the educational opportunities in Switzerland are also dependent on income, so the provision of such resources would be desirable. Our most important resource is ourselves, if we do not promote this we can not maintain the demand of the economy and thus our prosperity.
Es hat sich erwiesen das auch die Bildungschancen in der Schweiz abhängig vom Einkommen ist, daher wäre ein Zur-Verfügungstellen von solchen Mitteln wünschenswert. Unsere wichtigste Resource sind wir selber, wenn wir das nicht fördern können wir die Forderung der Wirtschaft und damit unser Wohlstand nicht aufrecht erhalten.

On the one hand, we are living longer, and on the other hand, we have not yet solved the problem of young talent. Of course, there would have to be special rules for industries (construction, for example).
Zum einen leben wir länger, zum anderen haben wir die Nachwuchsprobleme noch nicht gelöst. Natürlich müsste es für Branchen (Bau z.B.) spezialregeln geben.
