Demonstration in Bellinzona: 500 people took to the streets against premium increases

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

Financing the health insurance company through fee percentages: one of the demands at the rally in Bellinzona on Saturday.

This means that the average monthly premium per insured exceeds 500 francs. Demonstrators followed the call of unions and left-wing parties. The rally, which started in front of the train station at around 16:00, passed through the city center and marched towards the city hall. Various speakers took the floor there.

They called for a radical restructuring of health insurance. Premiums for 2024 will need to be frozen. There are significant deficiencies in the health system, outpatient treatment, Spitex, nursing homes and the working conditions of the staff.

Additional resources are crucial. Solidarity-based financing from revenues similar to AHV is the agenda of the day. The rally was peaceful. Five years ago, insured people in Ticino took to the streets against the constant increase in health insurance premiums.
