It's not. There's a good breakdown that compares what drives healthcare spending between the US vs Germany (and others).

The vast majority of the difference comes from just the raw cost of inpatient and outpatient care. Even if you were to completely zero out the administrative costs per capita, you'd hardly make a dent in bridging the gap.
