Explain the fault in my logic. The healthcare costs per capita (the amount of money spent on healthcare both private and public) is triple that of any country that has universal healthcare. I ask YOU, WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?

More taxes does not mean you are paying more money. At the moment, Americans pay THREE TIMES the amount of money for healthcare than ANY OTHER COUNTRY. Where does the money go? Not doctors or hospitals, but to INSURANCE COMPANIES. And they get money not for treating people, but denying people treatment. They find any excuse to not treat people.
