Switzerland is set to vote on November 24th on the EFAS reform, which aims to unify the financing of outpatient and inpatient healthcare services.
The proposal has sparked significant debate, with prominent figures like Christoph Blocher and Natalie Rickli breaking ranks with the SVP party leadership to support the reform.
The reform seeks to address rising health insurance premiums by promoting more cost-effective outpatient treatments.
However, the SVP and other political parties remain divided, with internal conflicts evident as the party prepares to decide its official stance.
The reform is seen as a potential solution to reduce healthcare costs, but public opinion is split, with many voters still undecided.
The outcome of this vote could significantly impact the future of healthcare financing in Switzerland.
