Please be honest and stay focused on health care cost, rather than burying it in general taxes (which pay farm subsidies, pensions, roads, etc.). It really doesn't matter whether it's paid in taxes or premiums or cash, the cost is what we're discussing.

Americans pay more per capita for health care than anyone else in the world. Lots more. Almost twice as much as Europeans - and their health care systems are outperforming ours AND covering every citizen.
