Health insurance: 4.1% Increase in Geneva

The insurance premiums of Geneva will increase by 4.1% next year for adults, according to figures newly published by the Federal Office of Public Health. On average, adults will pay 435 francs a month for basic insurance. The increase will be much saltier for young adults between 19 and 25 years (7.8%, to 374 francs). For children, the increase is 6.1%, to 101.50 francs. State Councilor Pierre-François Unger, who demanded an increase of zero or 1%, has not been heard. After Basel City, Canton Geneva remains the most expensive in Switzerland. Small consolation: health insurance premiums will rise more slowly than the national average: 8.7% for adults, 13.7% for young adults 19-25 years, 10% for child
