Where are you getting this information from?
Taxes in the UK are not much higher than taxes in the US (although of course you can’t really compare to “the US” at all because of interstate variation).
In any case, the US has higher per capita government spending on healthcare, so even excluding health insurance payments, Americans on average are paying more in taxes towards healthcare than Brits.
