Frontalier health cover — LAMal vs CMU
compare_lamal_cmuFrontalier health cover: LAMal (CH) vs CMU/PUMa (FR). · Couverture santé frontalier : LAMal (CH) ou CMU (FR). — Estimates the monthly cost of the two health-insurance options a France–Switzerland cross-border worker chooses between (droit d'option): Swiss LAMal (in CHF) vs the French contribution (in EUR, 8 % of the worker's OWN income of year N-2 above 25 % of the PASS — CSS art. L. 380-3-1 IV and D. 380-2). Give income_n2_eur (own net income as declared); without it the French figure is an UPPER estimate from the gross salary, flagged as such. Dependants are priced by age band (0-18 child, 19-25 young adult, 26+ adult). Deterministic official premium/rate tables — no AI. Returns both monthly figures, the rules of the option (window, reception by the Swiss authority, default, who has it) and how to transmit the form. Recommends neither system.
