TL;DR: They do not do it because they are afraid of getting sued by Americans.
- kgwgk 9y agoThanks. But it’s not as bad as I feared: it’s a particular hospital in Zurich and it applies only to non-residents and elective procedures. Don’t worry, US tourists, if you get sick even the University Hospital of Zurich will take care of you!
- samfriedman 9y agoWhen I worked in Zurich for a few months as an American student, I got pretty sick with mono. I went to an urgent care clinic, had multiple blood tests done, medication prescribed, and about a half hour consultation with a doctor (not to mention nurses). Walked out with about a $100 bill. Blew my mind.
