We pay doctors and nurses more than everywhere else
We are somewhere in the top 5, but not at the very top. A lot of our healthcare costs come from the medical research. Most of the medical innovation and research happen in the United States.
I used %GDP as the metric btw, not total cost

I did a little research on this some years ago and it is absolutely amazing how much medical advancement comes from either the US or research funded by our system. (If you’re diagnosed with cancer under the age of 18, anywhere in the world, you’ve got a survival rate about fifty times higher than any generation in history because of our research here in the US.)
If we weren’t just about the fattest/unhealthiest bastards on the planet then our life expectancy would be a decade longer than anyone else.

This is an interesting point and it should be explored more. It's not like we don't allow other countries to buy our medicines.
