Then how our taxes are lower on average than most other developed countries?

Because we pay less tax for other things; for example, making post-secondary education affordable. Our taxpayer-funded system for healthcare-over-65 costs us more than Germany's taxpayer-funded system for healthcare-over-0.

Our incomes are far higher too. Health care in the US isn't perfect, but public systems aren't either. The flaws of private health care seem to be a favorite target by people who are biased against the US.
