Perhaps more important, the US spends a bit more as a share of GDP on public healthcare than most developed countries with a mainly-public universal system. (And on top spends even more on private healthcare, but the combination still isn't a universal system.)
Per capita costs are going to be higher just because incomes are higher. But that doesn't explain per GDP costs being so high.
