So who pays for the treatment of people who can't afford to pay for their own private health insurance?

If it can be simply made up for by the Swiss equivalent of SS I guess that'd be nice, seems like private health insurance wouldn't care either way.
Then again this goes against my theory that socialized aid should come directly in the form of the thing needed - voucher for healthcare, food (or very specific food vouchers), rent free housing or vouchers for housing, rather than cash which is a bit silly to give to someone the government failed to give good financial education to (speaking from experience here...)
There's a reason theres a huge market for under the table financial management among the trapped impoverished.
