Check out the Oregon Medicaid study and you'll find evidence that counters your claims, namely that access to healthcare improves health outcomes (i.e. early detection and treatment did not lead to measurably better outcomes). [1]
It's a pretty impressive study. They took a number of uninsured in Oregon and held a lottery. Half of the people got free access to Medicaid and the other half remained uninsured.
The study found that costs go up (because people now have health insurance), but people weren't better off in terms of health (except for those with depression).
