Switzerland has a small and very wealthy population. In such a subset of people, you can order them all to buy a service (ex: private insurance). That idea might not work as well in 35x populations with a far more skewed distribution of wealth. That is you, Mr Jetson.

Your suggestion that universal coverage is only possible with a smaller population, is an assertion without any logical basis and also quite amusing.

Of course you would think so because your inability to comprehend written English has led you to believe I said anything of the sort.

I did not say "universal coverage is only possible with a smaller population". I said Switzerland's rather unique position of a very wealthy and small number of people might have something to do with nearly all its population happily subscribing to private insurance plans.
