You said it was a very private healthcare system, which is false.

It is very regulated and very 'socialist' as Tea Party members would call it. The private insurers cannot make profit on any of the basic insurance, only on supplemental coverage like dental and private rooms.

Your arguement was that the Swiss had a very private system and that it was the best, in an effort to bolster your position in support of the current US style system. However you were completely wrong, as they are very socialist, to the point of having a Federal Act that prohibits the companies to make profit on anything but this supplemental Dental-type coverage.
