Write 5 pages thesis on the topic health system. The Swiss culture is of very diverse and rich nature having the effect and influence of three bordering countries in its culture and society. The Romansh culture in Graubunden valleys is also a very important part of the local culture as it increases the social depth, richness and attracts a huge lot of tourists around the world resulting in augmenting economic and financial gains. The health systems and conditions in Switzerland are regarded one of the most sophisticated and facilitating health systems in the Europe as they ensure the health benefits for the citizens of Swiss federation. Every citizen has an obligation to get a health certificate from private insurance company and the private companies are forced to accept each application from the patients in order to apply the legal formulations. The pricing is relatively high as compared to other parts of Europe but the results are depicting the exhausting of the money of the citizens in the right direction. A study conducted in 2006 showed that the expected death age for men is around 79 years and 84 years for women which are far much better if compared with other parts of the world. The mortality rate is calculated to be around 8.8 death/1000 citizens annually for the year of 2012. The health indicators show that most of the deaths occurring in Switzerland are because of malignant neoplasms followed by ischaemic heart disease (SDR 100.4). The health problems in the prisons are not good at all and the statistics are showing a very detrimental rate of death in side prisons of Switzerland which will be discussed later in this paper. Among the causes of deaths, the external causes of deaths have a key role to play in any country. The rate of deaths because of the external causes is much depleted because of the law abiding environments and rule of law all around the country and at every level. The external causes are responsible for around 57.8 deaths per 10,000 among which only 8.4 deaths are because of vehicle accidents. This rate depicts the good governance of the governmental authorities (Schoenenberger & Stuck, 2006). The fee structures of health facilities are decided by the consensus among cantonal government present in different areas of Switzerland and the health regulatory authorities. The regulatory authorities have a duty to represent the citizens at every level in order to make sure that the price does not exceed the minimum bearing level of each citizen. In case of disasters and accidents, the government provides free of cost treatment for the citizens (Daley & Gubb, 2007). A comprehensive comparison between the health care indicators was done in order to investigate the results on the basis of functional requirements. In 2006, the American government spent around $7,538 per capita on health which is regarded as the highest number of expenditures spent on health by any country and this figure is also double of the median set by OECD which is around 2995$. Contrary to this, the spending on health in Switzerland was around $5,003 per capita which makes two third less than that of spending on health in America.
