Key legal question
Whether the insured person was entitled to a higher cantonal health-insurance premium reduction for 2017
Extracted holding
No. The calculation based on the 2015 tax assessment was correct, no clear tax error or hardship situation was shown, and the resulting reduction was not to be increased.
Extracted reasoning
The court applied the cantonal rules on premium reduction, used the last final tax assessment, rounded income down to the nearest thousand, and found no admissible basis to depart from those tax values. The alleged inheritance mistake was unfounded, and unemployment predating the relevant assessment did not establish a current hardship under the statute.
