Area of Science:

  • Health Economics
  • Public Health Policy
  • Decision Science

Background:

  • Universal health coverage (UHC) is expanding globally, necessitating public input on insurance benefit priorities.
  • Switzerland, a high-income nation with established UHC and deliberative democracy, provides a unique context for this study.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess public priorities for health insurance benefits within a universal coverage system.
  • To evaluate the impact of deliberative processes on public acceptance of healthcare resource allocation trade-offs.

Main Methods:

  • Adaptation and application of the Choosing Healthplans All Together (CHAT) tool in twelve Swiss cities.
  • Recruitment of 175 participants from diverse socio-economic backgrounds, considering linguistic and cultural variations.

Main Results:

  • Participants accepted trade-offs like gatekeeping, exclusion of life-sustaining care for the dying, and longer waits for non-urgent care.
  • Initial preferences for expanded dental, quality of life, and long-term care coverage shifted during deliberations.
  • Post-deliberation, participants adjusted views on out-of-pocket costs and rehabilitation, with most deeming the final plan fair.

Conclusions:

  • Swiss participants demonstrated willingness to accept complex healthcare resource allocation trade-offs.
  • In a well-funded UHC system, public engagement can lead to acceptance of insurance plans, with some perceiving current coverage as sufficient.
