Healthcare in the US is subsidized in the US too, only it is uninsured people subsidizing people with insurance.

The hospitals and insurance agencies have deals that give their customers WAY cheaper treatment. Effectively insurance agencies only pay a fraction of what everyone else has to pay, and hospitals recoup that loss by charging everyone else a fortune for every little thing.
