Health insurance in Arbon: what you need to know
Arbon sits right on Lake Constance and is the main town of its district in canton Thurgau. With roots going back to the Roman fort of Arbor Felix and a past shaped by the Saurer engineering works, it is known today for its lakeside old town and castle.
Arbon is in the Canton of Thurgau — which forms a single premium region. Your premium therefore doesn't depend on which municipality in the canton you live in, only on the insurer and model you choose. That's exactly why comparing pays off: basic benefits are identical everywhere by law, only the price differs.
