They are only regulated by the government not covered, they insurance companies are still private companies. Unfortunately the "basic services" have been bloated so too many treadments are now covered. The result is that the insurance rates rise faster than the GDP.

Immigration to Switzerland depends weather you come from an EU country or not. If you are EU citizen you only need a job. If not it is harder, but not impossible.
