30 or 40 years ago, our health care system worked? Then more and more employers started offering health insurance. This skewed the system, so that people were no longer in charge of the cost of health care. It is exactly the same with college. Used to be your could have a part time job and put yourself through shool. Now with goverment subsidies (college loans) and soldiers returning with GI bill, there is no incentive for colleges to cater to those who are unwilling to take out a 50K + morgage on their future.
The dominoes started to fall when FDR decided to cap wages. Companies quickly figured out health insurance was a great way to get by that, and used that new benefit to entice and keep workers. A significant amount of the issues we are running into today we brought on by FDR and his Raw Deal.

Everyone should turn these effects off, did you see what they did to Hal Jordan?!
So smart about some things, and yet so clueless about other things...
