The US government is the government that spends the most per capita for healthcare even if the public system doesn’t cover everyone, people need to then pay for private insurance over that and can still end up indebted if they’re denied coverage.
In the end healthcare in the USA costs more than twice as much per capita than universal systems in many other rich countries.
