Because none of them are ruled by capitalism. Capitalism is their economic system, not their government system.
I with you were right...
If they were ruled by capitalism, things like universal healthcare wouldn't exist. Things are far from perfect in other countries, but there's a huge leap between the US and other counties in terms of what capitalism is allowed to do in them.
I think you are in the wrong here. Europe is definitely ruled by capitalism. What Americans don't understand is that universal healthcare benefits capitalism, because the state makes sure your workers are healthy.
Your employee is sick? State money is going to fix him up and pay (most) of the wage in the meantime.
