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.

I don't really give a crap what the tea-party people say.
I was mistaken that it is very private. Seems like it is a more mixed system with freedom of choice for everyone. It being a non-profit system makes it a lot better than what we have.
There is nothing wrong with making healthcare a non-profit industry. And there is nothing wrong with having a certain amount of regulation.
Don't lump me in with whoever you're trying to lump me in with.
I have already stated numerous times that I support a two-tiered system. But one that is modeled after the European system.
