List of countries by tax revenue as percentage of GDP.

The upside is if they get ill they have a second to none healthcare system for all, for less money than the private sector charge. The downside is, it isn't free. Hiring a tax accountant is only avoiding one tax revenue. We have a lot of indirect taxes.

United States 26.9% of GDP - Healthcare per capita $8,508 17.7% of GDP

Denmark 49.0% of GDP - Healthcare per capita $4,448 10.9% of GDP

What are insurance rates, for cars, accidents and anything that might result in a Medical bill like in the US?
