Yes, this is the fundamental argument in favor of a single-payer public health insurance. This is why the US spends so much more on healthcare per-capita, and as a percentage of GDP, than Canada, for example.
> In 2006, per-capita spending for health care in Canada was US$3,678; in the U.S., US$6,714. The U.S. spent 15.3% of GDP on healthcare in that year; Canada spent 10.0%.[6]
