IMHO many of these US and EU comparisons don't pan out due to scale. Switzerland is a small, wealthy and densely populated country compared to the US. Utah alone is five times the size of Switzerland. Swiss GDP per capita is ~20% higher and most importantly, the population density of Switzerland is 213 people per sq km versus 34 in the US (and undoubtedly that number is even lower in Utah which has one of the lowest population densities in the US).
