If you fully load the per-capita US healthcare costs to that 31% and make it a closer comparison based on services received, I would guess the US percentage will go much higher than the Danish tax burden.

Absolutely. The difference for most Europen countries vs. the US, other than the top 5-6, is low enough to get eaten up by healthcare and similar very quickly.
