But that's mostly people/companies spending on health care, not as much the government (because that'd be socialism, apparently)

I'm just talking about government spending. If you add private spending it is even more unbalanced. Just per capita government spending alone:

US $12k

Germany $8k

UK $6k

Medicaid + Medicare is 22% of all US federal spending. Defense is 13%.
