Universal healthcare might help but it is also--

  1. Auto accidents driven by car culture.
  2. Higher drug and alcohol abuse rates.
  3. Higher suicide rates driven by access to firearms.
  4. A culture of unhealthy eating that leads to obesity, heart disease, and increased risk of cancer.

About point 4, there is this really weird phenomenon that people going one way or the other replicate the same results without consciously changing the way you eat. Americans eating "unhealthy" in Europe get better and Europeans "eating healthy" in the US get worse.
