I don't think that disproves a general trend that increased socialization in healthcare costs leads to better outcomes and less per-capita spending.

Also FWIW France and Switzerland both have universal healthcare, under different systems where France splits payments 3 ways and covers more with the govt[1], and Switzerland seems to have a system like the ACA in the US where it's compulsory, but they also set caps on the deductibles and maximum price.
