Taxes are usually higher, but not incredibly so. Healthcare spending is generally less for better results. Switzerland spends the most, although nowhere near what America spends, and is where Romney/heritage foundation got the mandatory health insurance idea from.
Well yes, Switzerland is pretty much the only place in Europe where income/wages are overall on par with those in the US (of course not in all sectors). Other countries are generally very poor in comparison.

So again.. would you rather make 60k and pay 45% in taxes or make 100k and pay 35%?

Sure, if you are above median higher will likely more than compensate the higher healthcare costs (unless you’re very unlucky of course).
