The USA is unusual for having by far the highest healthcare spending in the world — around 100% higher per person than the developed world average. If the US healthcare sector on its own were a country, its GDP would be higher than all the world's nations apart from the USA and China.
This isn't a problem caused by spending too much on aid and not enough on healthcare or on policing— the USA spends much less on aid as a percentage of GDP than other developed nations, less than 0.3% of GDP most years (the UN target for developed nations is 0.7%)
