7. So, you admit that private companies provide insurance in the Swiss Model and it can work?

Doesn't that undermine the argument that you absolutely cannot have any private insurance involvement? If I understand your point, if we have certain profit restrictions, it can work.

Indeed, lets say we have a requirement that 90 percent of all premiums actually go to health care, aren't then approaching the swiss model? If I am not mistaken, hasn't such a requirement been discussed in connection with the current bills.
