96. Wrong again
You said if it not's single payer, then it's not universal health care. Switzerland's health care PLAN is not single payer, but it is a universal health CARE plan.

"What's not universal about the Swiss plan is health CARE. There are necessary treatments that are NOT covered by the insurance."

1) NO PLAN pays for everything. NONE. Not one anywhere in the world that I know of will pay for EVERYTHING.

2) All plans, BY LAW, must cover "medically necessary" procedures.

3) Premiums in Switzerland are affordable.

And universal has NEVER been about what services are covered and which are not, which is irrelevant because your flase claim that "medically necessary" services are not covered.
