The issue is that you need to build more than 23 times as many hospitals - if you only build 23x the hospitals in a country that's over 200x larger in terms of geographic size, that means a huge number of people will be hours away from the closest hospital. The majority of those people will be in very rural areas, who are already generally underserved by social and other government services and who are often quite poor.

However, the US still has a higher GDP per land area than countries such as Norway, Sweden, Canada and Australia. Furthermore, you would think that economies of scale should be quite beneficial for countries as large as the United States.
