Of course, health insurance costs are also included in the calculation of the inflation rate…

trust no statistics you did not fake yourself
rents and health cost (*) must be severily underweighted to achieve such fake numbers
Acc. to the article rents increased 4 % and they contribute 0.7 % to the inflation rate. Therefore they weight rents at (0.7/4) = 17.5 % of expenditure which is a joke. Means if your expenditure (excluding tax and health insurance) is a generous 4000 Fr./month your rent should be max. 700 Fr. /month. A joke. Weight it at a more realistic 30 % (I spend over 40 % of expenditure on rent) and rents alone would contribute 1.33 %.
(*) health insurance is not included in the CPI because health costs that the insurance pays for are included, but the higher “consumption” of health services that drive up the cost of insurance should be represented with a higher weighing of health related costs in the CPI
