>Because since they receive all these amazing perks by paying such a high tax rate, then wouldn’t it be logical to say that they could achieve perfection if they paid 100% in taxes.
That doesn't follow logic? The logic is that higher input (at a manageable % of income) + higher output (at a manageable % of GDP) = more productive society; not that 100% input = more productive society. I understand where it's possible to get confused, but it does take a bit of a leap to take it to the absolute extreme there.
It could be good for you to read Esping-Anderson's Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism, Clasen's Comparative Social Policy and Pierson's The Welfare State Reader, if you're confused about some of the logic behind Social Democratic states.

The most important thing you need to realize is health care after Obamacare is now approaching 20% of GDP. How did Obamacare drive up prices so much? Both sides want to lower costs now.
Newt Gingrich has a lot of good books no matter your poltiics. This one goes into why healthcare was so expensive back when it was written and we were nowhere near 20% of GDP.

You can also just read about Trump's proposals like getting rid of the ban on importing drugs. Look for people discussing cost savings like that and ask why Obamacare drove the cost of healthcare to 20% of GDP when it was supposed to reduce the cost. What went wrong?

Success? Please - people in Sweden go to vets rather than doctors to get treated, the wait times are so long. I suggest you read, Remaking America: Welcome to the Dark Side of the Welfare State. The author is a Swede now living in the US, and I wrote about his experience here.
Don't make me laugh. Those Scandinavian countries are some of the freest economically in the world, and those in charge have had to pull back from the welfare state in recent years, just to get by. If you are something other than a hellbent socialist ideologue and open to hearing of socialism's joys, I recommend Welcome to the Dark Side of the Welfare State, by a Swede, Sven Larson.
