One of the big reasons why healthcare is more expensive in the US is Americans get a lot more of it, particularly out-patient care (~150% of OECD average).
And other single payer countries certainly don't offer limitless levels of care. The gov't determines what it will pay for and nothing else. For Americans with generous insurance coverage, the care is much more limitless when you look at things like experimental treatments and the latest drugs.
