Key legal question
Whether the appellant was subject to Swiss mandatory health insurance from 1 January 2008 to 15 April 2008
Extracted holding
He was not; his Swiss residence had ended and a new residence abroad had been established until re-entry into Switzerland on 15 April 2008.
Extracted reasoning
Residence under Art. 13 ATSG and Art. 23 ZGB requires physical presence plus intent to remain; the appellant's conduct showed abandonment of Swiss residence in 2000 and establishment of residence in Spain.
