The board frejected the initiative of the Parti ssocialist titled “Maximum 10% of income for insurance premiums disease“ which, as its name suggests, aims to ensure that no household pays more than 10% of its income for insurance disease. The PS s projectouhaite that two-thirds of the premium reduction (RIP) itselfint fundeds by the Confederation and that the rest be borne by the VSanton. A proposal too reductive for the government, which explains “recognize that premiums represent a significant burden for households“, but who criticizes the initiative of “focus only on subsidy funding, without taking into account the control of health costs“ The college is indeed counting on additional costs of 6 billion francs if this initiative were to come into force in 2025 and not from 3.2 to 4 billions as the initiators estimated.
