Yeah, when you can go for free to a doctor your entire life and your prescriptions are free or subsidized because the government can negotiate prices in bulk, the end result is that you get better results spending less.
It's not perfect, but it leads to a better outcome than when people only see a doctor when it's an emergency because they are too afraid to go bankrupt or because they are poor enough that they can't even pay for a simple visit to do an yearly check up.
