BERN - The National Council spent Wednesday on leftover cost-control items in compulsory health insurance. Speakers used January's 6 percent rise as evidence. They always do. The left named providers. The right named deductibles. The centre named time.
Cantons that had begged for higher individual reductions in March were still waiting for a formula. Ticino's name came up again.

Health is not on 28 September. It will feel as if it is, in any household that opens both a voting envelope and an insurer's letter in the same week.
