Cost index is relative to a US baseline of 100. Healthcare is a quality index scored 0 to 100. Figures are per-field sourced in the app, with an as-of date on each. A lower cost index is not a recommendation: the plan, the visa, the climate and the distance all matter, and only one of those is a number in a table.
