Not really though. Not in the way it does today. Medicine up to 1900 was largely ineffective. And most of what we consider modern medicine has its roots in the 1940s. Which coincidentally is about the same time employer provided health insurance started becoming common.

Many procedures that are common between today and circa 1960s have grown exponentially in cost. It was about this time that public insurance became a thing, and private insurance approximately the same time, in terms of actual usage. The median cost to individuals has gone up significantly since any insurance was mandated.
