To the Editor:
    It is good and prudent that we are assessing other countries' healthcare solutions before we commit to our own. If we are to copy a system from elsewhere, we want to do it honestly and with our eyes open. It is therefore with alarm that I find no mention in the article that Swiss Insurance Companies are non-profit organizations. For lack of a detail like that, our whole national wealth could be routed into the hands of our insurers.
