Doctors will (for the most part) address only the problems that you can verbalize

I don't see how universal health care would change that. It's not a business vs doctoring problem. The only way for doctors to anticipate and address complaints you don't present to them would be to do massive screening tests on everybody. Universal health care won't pay for that any more than insurance companies currently do. If anything, they'd be less likely to do that because now doctors get their cut on the tests they can sneak by the insurance companies. With Uncle Sam paying the bills, they lose that little bit of business-based motivation.
