The us healthcare statistics include people paying out of pocket for care that is extremely expensive and literally not available anywhere else.

A number of gene therapies are to expensive for any public health system, so are only available in the us.

Needles to say they're experimental and carry lots of weight in a effectiveness vs cost analysis.

Experimental therapies do exist in public healthcare systems, the costs are generally borne by the universities with special financing for experimental treatments. Many universities in public systems are run directly by universities which simplifies the process.
