It does not contradict my statement. If they are less likely to seek medical treatment, they receive worse medical treatment (or no treatment at all).

Worse and less are two different things. One is a judgement of quality, the other a judgement of quantity.

Except when they're both required and neither is sufficient, as in this case. In preventative medicine, in order to have quality one must have quantity.
