Zurich – Almost 40 percent of the adult Swiss population perceive gaps in basic insurance. Every second person has a strong interest in additionally protecting themselves against illness or accident. This is shown by a representative Comparis survey. However, the high premiums for supplementary insurance are the main obstacle to additional insurance coverage. This applies significantly more strongly to French-speaking Switzerland than to German-speaking Switzerland. “The population is caught in a dilemma: basic insurance already takes up a growing share of the household budget, yet from the perspective of many insured persons, it still does not cover all needs for comfort, freedom of choice and security,” says Comparis health insurance expert Felix Schneuwly.
