Overview

Out of 72 countries, Switzerland sits at #65 — 8th Least Cooked. Three departments are doing the heavy lifting here: healthcare financing (catastrophic health spending beats 75% of the field, just not in a good way), economic policy (income inequality, 46th percentile), and housing policy bringing up the rear. Different agencies, same energy.

Overall score: 15/100 — 12 points below the global median of 27 (higher = more cooked). Where the system is holding up: homicide rate (Homicide 0.5/100k) — better than 93% of countries tracked. The story here isn't the country — it's the healthcare financing stack behind these numbers.
