Sintesi Omnilex

The court held that a collective labor agreement cannot oblige a worker to join a specific health insurer. Article 7 LAMal guarantees free choice of insurer, and this mandatory principle cannot be contracted away by collective agreement.

Massima Omnilex

Art. 7 LAMal; free choice of insurer in compulsory health insurance may not be restricted by a collective labor agreement. A collective agreement cannot validly compel an employee to conclude health insurance with a particular sickness fund, as this would contradict the mandatory nature of the statutory freedom of choice.
