Switzerland (unfortunately) doesn't have what I (as an Australian) would recognise as universal healthcare. It's very similar to the "public option" to use the US terminology. It is still closer to modern healthcare than the US, but it's not the same thing (and suffers from problems that other more progressive healthcare systems do not suffer from).

Can you elaborate? Genuinely interested in the details.

That’s because several major pharmaceutical companies are head quartered there - not because the actual research is done there.
