There is no relation between universal healthcare and house visits. I live in a country with universal healthcare where house calls don't exist.

I believe the parent commenter was noting that with universal healthcare the relation to poverty and not being to see the doctor was not longer a problem.

Here in the UK I didn’t think house calls exist, but then my wife got a severe chest infection while she was pregnant on a weekend. I called the NHS help line, and there was a doctor with us in 4 hours.
