Abstract (De)
Jahresbericht - In this paper, problems of the Swiss health system and possible solutions are discussed. First, the development of health expenditure and its structure during the last decades is shown, also in comparison with the development in other countries. Then, core problems of the health system like supplier induced demand are discussed. It is shown which factors are responsible for too high costs and which ones for too high cost increases. To show possibilities to reduce the burdens different sectors of the health system are considered: health insurance, compensation of medical services, hospital financing, and drug prices. We conclude with some remarks about the role of competition in the health system.
