	SAS Success Story: Kantonsspital Obwalden
		Switzerland's Kantonsspital Obwalden is a general community hospital with a long history dating back to an infirmary mentioned in the 16th century.
		However, the most dramatic change in the hospital's recent history occurred on January 1, 2000, when the canton of Obwalden changed its hospital law and the Kantonsspital became an independent organization under the principles of New Public Management.
		As Paul Flückiger, director of Kantonsspital Obwalden states, after 10 or 15 years of neglect, the task of putting the hospital back on its feet in a short timeframe was a considerable challenge.

		Thus, when one canton (state) decides to enact tax rates that are more attractive than the neighboring canton; taxpayers contemplate relocating.
		The canton elected leaders calculate that the revenue loss by abandoning progressive tax rates will be more than offset by the gain in keeping residents from moving out and by getting a percentage of taxes (at a lower rate) from the newcomers who currently pay taxes in another canton.
		With a large socialist population in some Swiss cantons one would expect an initiative challenge to this drop of progressive rates (a challenge is legal under the Swiss federal system where changing street signs can be put to the vote).
