"Two yeses against the cost shock": with this slogan, a center-left committee is campaigning for a yes to the SP's premium relief initiative and also to the center party's cost brake initiative.
The committee argues that a double yes on June 9 could lay the foundations in the constitution for fairness and efficiency in the healthcare system. The initiatives complement each other, because on the one hand they cap healthcare costs for families and on the other they stop waste.
Members of the National Council from the SP and the Center Party presented the committee's arguments to the media in Bern on Monday. They argued that double pressure was needed on politicians. Parliament had failed with the counter-proposals; the councils could now make improvements when implementing the initiatives.
The delegates of the SP and the Center decided to vote Yes to their own initiative and No to the other. According to the committee, this was primarily due to party-political considerations.
