That's wrong - here is the study: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsa1212321#t=articl...

We found that insurance led to increased access to and utilization of health care, substantial improvements in mental health, and reductions in financial strain, but we did not observe reductions in measured blood-pressure, cholesterol, or glycated hemoglobin levels.
