How health insurance premiums in Switzerland will rise next year
by The LocalHealth insurance is set to cost more in the coming year, with a report estimating increases of more almost four percent from January 1st, 2020.
This represents a bigger increase than was seen in either of the past two years, where costs went up by 2.9 percent and 2.7 percent in 2017 and 2018 respectively.
The estimated increase (3.6 percent) is largely due to Switzerland’s ageing population and rises in the average nominal wage across the country.
The report was completed by Switzerland’s Economic Institute, which completes bi-annual studies into health insurance costs in Switzerland.
READ: Where in Switzerland will you find the cheapest and the most expensive health insurance?
Despite the increases, the Institute says that the figures show policy measures to reduce the increases have worked - as the costs were originally predicted to be higher next year.
As we discussed in our report into the Swiss political parties and their policy platforms ahead of the October 2019 election, healthcare costs were a major issue for residents of Switzerland.
READ: How Swiss residents are 'paying too much' for medicines and health insurance premiums
Three of the parties - the Christian Democrats, the Social Democrats and the Greens - all supported various measures which would prevent increases in healthcare costs, including a 'cost brake' which would peg health insurance to particular economic metrics to control the rise.

public interface RollConvention extends Named
A periodic schedule is determined using a periodic frequency. When applying the frequency, the roll convention is used to fine tune the dates. This might involve selecting the last day of the month, or the third Wednesday.
To get the next date in the schedule, take the base date and the periodic frequency. Once this date is calculated, the roll convention is applied to produce the next schedule date.
The most common implementations are provided as constants on RollConventions
.
Additional implementations may be added by implementing this interface.
All implementations of this interface must be immutable and thread-safe.
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
|---|---|
LocalDate |
adjust(LocalDate date)
Adjusts the date according to the rules of the roll convention.

static ExtendedEnum<RollConvention> |
extendedEnum()
Gets the extended enum helper.

getName()
Gets the name that uniquely identifies this convention.
|
default boolean |
matches(LocalDate date)
Checks if the date matches the rules of the roll convention.
|
default LocalDate |
next(LocalDate date,

Calculates the next date in the sequence after the input date.
|
static RollConvention |
of(String uniqueName)
Obtains an instance from the specified unique name.
|
static RollConvention |
ofDayOfMonth(int dayOfMonth)
Obtains an instance from the day-of-month.
|
static RollConvention |
ofDayOfWeek(DayOfWeek dayOfWeek)
Obtains an instance from the day-of-week.
|
default LocalDate |
previous(LocalDate date,
Frequency periodicFrequency)
Calculates the previous date in the sequence after the input date.

static RollConvention of(String uniqueName)
uniqueName
- the unique nameIllegalArgumentException
- if the name is not knownstatic RollConvention ofDayOfMonth(int dayOfMonth)
This convention will adjust the input date to the specified day-of-month. The year and month of the result date will be the same as the input date. It is intended for use with periods that are a multiple of months.
If the month being adjusted has a length less than the requested day-of-month then the last valid day-of-month will be chosen. As such, passing 31 to this method is equivalent to selecting the end-of-month convention.
dayOfMonth
- the day-of-month, from 1 to 31IllegalArgumentException
- if the day-of-month is invalidstatic RollConvention ofDayOfWeek(DayOfWeek dayOfWeek)
This convention will adjust the input date to the specified day-of-week. It is intended for use with periods that are a multiple of weeks.
In adjust()
, if the input date is not the required day-of-week,
then the next occurrence of the day-of-week is selected, up to 6 days later.
In next()
, the day-of-week is selected after the frequency is added.
If the calculated date is not the required day-of-week, then the next occurrence
of the day-of-week is selected, up to 6 days later.
In previous()
, the day-of-week is selected after the frequency is subtracted.
If the calculated date is not the required day-of-week, then the previous occurrence
of the day-of-week is selected, up to 6 days earlier.
dayOfWeek
- the day-of-weekstatic ExtendedEnum<RollConvention> extendedEnum()
This helper allows instances of the convention to be looked up. It also provides the complete set of available instances.
LocalDate adjust(LocalDate date)
See the description of each roll convention to understand the rule applied.
It is recommended to use next()
and previous()
rather than
directly using this method.
date

See the description of each roll convention to understand the rule applied.
date
- the date to checkdefault LocalDate next(LocalDate date, Frequency periodicFrequency)
This takes the input date, adds the periodic frequency and adjusts the date as necessary to match the roll convention rules. The result will always be after the input date.
The default implementation is suitable for month-based conventions.
date
- the date to adjustperiodicFrequency
- the periodic frequency of the scheduledefault LocalDate previous(LocalDate date, Frequency periodicFrequency)
This takes the input date, subtracts the periodic frequency and adjusts the date as necessary to match the roll convention rules. The result will always be before the input date.
The default implementation is suitable for month-based conventions.

React Components
Components are the smallest, yet most fundamental part of React. They're similar, in concepts, to things like widgets and modules. React defines itself as a library for building user interfaces. As such, when you think of a user interface you want to build (with React), you need to think of it in terms of the smallest possible components that you can define.
These components include code which defines how DOM elements are created and how users can interact with them. Components can be defined purely in JavaScript or they can be defined in a superset (or extended variation) of JavaScript called JSX. If you decide to use JSX for your component definitions, you may also need a compiler application, but we'll get to that in a minute.
Embedded HTML
If you've been developing websites for a while, you may have flinched when I spoke about using HTML within your JavaScript. For the longest time, a development paradigm has existed which says that you should split HTML and JavaScript. Words like unobtrusive have been repurposed to express this kind of separation. That is exactly how I felt, until I started working with React.
The reason this paradigm exists is to decrease coupling (how much things depend on each other) and increase cohesion (how well different things work together). So we have created an environment in which we try our best to make HTML (and templates) as free of logic as possible. We then need to attach behaviour to this in the form of external scripts.
We're going to be referring to pure JavaScript as JS and the React version of JavaScript as JSX.
