That's less than half of what the typical UK taxpayer pays for healthcare. Surely the Dutch health system is also partially funded by government revenue?

According to our research, the average cost of an individual private health insurance plan sits at around £85 per month or £1,020 per year!

A typical family premium (two adults in their 40s and two children under 10) can vary from £700 to £1,800 a year.

The average price of a private healthcare policy in the UK is £1,032.84 per year (February 2022)

I did use the word "taxpayer". The UK's health service costs £2700 per head of population. Obviously what people contribute towards that varies.

Also my question remains unanswered. Is the Dutch health system topped up by government funding?

It’s very well documented that US healthcare and insurance costs are the highest per capita in the world.
