> If you compare it against Spain and Italy, whose countries have a far worse health system, distrust of authorities and are much more vulnerable against economic downturns. Minor nitpick, I agree on the other points but Spain objectively does not have a "far worse" Healthcare system than Sweden in 2020. You might need to revise your assumptions. Looking at the data available up to 2015, Denmark already had a worse HAQ index than Spain in 2015, and Spain had a negligible difference compared to Sweden [0]. Spanish longevity has kept increasing and competing with Japan [1], beyond 'mediterranean diet' effects, which again many attribute to Healthcare quality.
