"At least half of the people in the world do not receive the health services they need" World Health Organization states. With having a Universal Health Coverage ALL people will have health services they need including, "health promotion to prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and palliative care" (WHO). In theory, the Universal Health Care is better than our current system, but it depends who you ask and what their intentions, perspective, and vision of the world is.

Good supporting quote from a well reputed organization -- the World Health Organziation. You mention that a universal health care system being efficient depends on who you ask. Therefore, I'm not sure what the outcome is of your fact-check.  Going forward, if you add a rating to fact-checks (see the sidebar) it'll be more clear to readers, and of course make sure it is supported with evidence (URL links to sources).
