This ensures that the system works better than the US system, as the hospitals do not need to deal with having to treat uninsured patients who cannot pay. This is a major problem for the US healthcare system, and a critical threat to the solvency and continued operation of many hospitals, especially rural hospitals and clinics.
The insurance mandate is a principal component of the ACA. In the US you have to have health insurance or you pay a fine, and there are subsidies to help people pay for insurance. To further lower the number of uninsured in the US would involve increasing the penalties for not having insurance, paired with further expansion of subsidies or Medicaid. Honestly sounds like that area of the Swiss healthcare system is pretty similar to what the ACA provides.
Switzerland also regulates drug prices... and has much tighter governmental oversight over their insurance industries. But is also the most costly by percent GDP of european nations... still much much cheaper than the US though.
