    Hello,

    Just wondering if any of you lovely people have any idea about health insurance: Where I can get it, what I need to know about it, how much I'm likely to be forking out for it etc? Just need it for 3 months.

    I was told if I don't take it out and advise the government about it, I'll be landed with a government assigned heath insurance policy - any truth in that?

    I was also advised to take out liability insurance to protect me against being sued / to enable me to sue - whats that all about?

    Any other insurance policies I need to consider?

    Your help is much appreciated.

    Thanks
    Jacqs

    Hello jacqueline collins ,

    i would like to suggest you to go for the insurance but only with the best policy which covers each and every aspects of the insurance like optical , dental etc.always look closely on the policy only then opt to buy one.

    Jacqs,

    the basic health in switzerland in mandatory, and by law all insurance companies have to offer you the exact same package. The price differs, but the coverage for basic health is similar for all companies.

    see this guide to swiss health-insurance: http://www.glocals.com/guides/guide-ins ... insurance/

    good luck,

    nir
