"A Swiss Model, but Better"
Read Mark’s proposal for a healthcare system that lays out a practical, affordable path to universal coverage in the United States, built on portability, transparency, and modern preventive care. This article breaks down how a “Swiss model but better” could deliver lower costs, stronger privacy protections, and a system that finally puts families—not employers or insurers—at the center of American healthcare.
