The “10% initiative” from the left-wing Social Democratic Party calls for no policyholder to have to pay more than 10% of their income on health insurance premiums. Premium reductions via cantonal subsidies should be financed to the tune of at least two-thirds by the government and the remainder by the cantons.

The government has come up with an indirect counterproposal. As a result, most cantons will have to increase their contribution to reducing health insurance premiums for low-income policyholders, to a minimum amount of between 3.5% and 7.5% of the cantonal costs of compulsory health insurance. This is the result of a compromise in parliament, whereas the government had initially asked the cantons to make a greater effort.
