My oldest daughter had major surgery with a galbladder removal. Single room in hospital, TV, WiFi for the time she was hospitalized ... I paid 1.29 Euro because she asked for an extra bottle of water one day.

When my wife and I were hospitalized for some weeks in 2020 with an acute Covid19 infection we paid around 230 Euro for like 14 days in a private isolation room, the both of us, TV, Wifi, luxury meals, doctors, medication, tests ...

I have several examples ... Do I need to explain to you the cost of healthcare, whatever healthcare, in the USA ?
