Die Gesundheitskosten sind insbesondere für eine Familie sehr belastend.

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Wer über 50 Jahre alt ist, hat keine Chance, noch einen Ausgleich zu schaffen und sieht seine Rente dahinschwinden. Das kann nicht sein.

Should paid parental leave be increased beyond today's 14 weeks of maternity leave and two weeks of paternity leave? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Man muss allerdings darauf achten, dass Familien mit Kindern dadurch kein beruflicher Nachteil entsteht. Wichtiger wäre ein Ausbau der Betreuungsangebote.

Das Kindeswohl muss stets im Vordergrund stehen.
Introduce a tax on sugary foods
Are you in favor of the introduction of a tax on foods containing sugar (sugar tax)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Regulierungen müssen stets durchdacht werden. Mit einer Steuer werden Ersatzzucker gepusht, die auch problematisch sein können. Besser wären präzisere Deklarationspflichten, dass etwa Fruchtzucker ausgewiesen werden müsste, und nicht nur Zucker allgemein.

Die Einschränkung der Kompetenzen der Kantone sind stets mit Vorsicht zu beurteilen. Ich ziehe es vor, wenn sich die Kantone selbständig einigen.
Education
Inclusive schooling
According to the Swiss integrated schooling concept, children with learning difficulties or disabilities should be taught in regular classes. Do you approve of this concept?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Das ginge nur mit kleineren Klassen. Derzeit ist die Unruhe in den Klassen enorm, die Präsenz der Betreuer für bedürftige Kinder und deren Unterhaltung stören. Zudem merkt ein derartiges Kind in einer Regelklasse genauso, dass es die Leistung der andern nicht erbringen kann, wie in einer Förderklasse. In einer Förderklasse kann besser auf die Bedürfnisse dieser Kinder eingegangen werden.

Comment
Generell gilt halt, dass bei Drogen die Verunreinigungen, Betrügereien etc. nicht kontrolliert werden können, wenn sie verboten sind. Eine Legalisierung würde eine Qualitätskontrolle und eine Besteuerung erlauben (analog zu Alkohol).

Comment
Es gibt die Menschen, die sich für ihre Rechte wehren können, und andere, die dies nicht können, unabhängig vom Geschlecht. Zudem setzen Frauen im Allgemeinen andere Prioritäten, als Männer. Karriere ist ihnen weniger wichtig, als ein gutes Arbeitsumfeld, beispielsweise. Es wird immer Unterschiede geben. Die Zeiten der Diskriminierung, wie ich sie sehr wohl erlebte, sind vorbei.

Achieve climate targets through incentives
To achieve climate targets, should incentives and target agreements be relied on exclusively, rather than bans and restrictions?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
