How the LAMal claimed 7,800 francs from me

Alex Binz, an auditor, lived in the USA for several years before returning to Switzerland to settle in Fribourg. With no job and no income, she turned to social services to help her apply for subsidies to pay her health insurance premiums. The ECAS, the cantonal social insurance institution, intervened. But then, last January, disaster struck: the health insurance company came to claim 7,800 francs from Alex Binz, to reimburse 2 years' worth of premiums.
