Pius Gyger

His analyses suggest that, despite rising premiums, the average Swiss household has not seen a significant decrease in disposable income over the past two decades. Gyger emphasizes the importance of understanding the absolute income levels relative to health costs, rather than just focusing on percentage changes. His work contributes to the ongoing debate about health care expenses and economic well-being in Switzerland.
