PT13.S2.Q07 - not correct that the people of the united states

I'm having trouble figuring out the argument in this stimulus. I believe its saying:
Premise: While health care in other Western countries is supported by their tax revenues, the US government does not provide health care via tax. The US public health-care expense is ~5% of the GDP, but private is 7%. Thus, this 7% is tax.
Conclusion: It is incorrect to say that people of the US are "lightly taxed."
What the hell does that mean? This argument literally makes no sense. I can't follow which is probably why I can't pinpoint the flaw.
Any input would be helpful!
