health insurance wwii
Why have our health insurance through our jobs?
I'll tell you. In the 1940s wages continued Truman and price controls beyond the Second World War – - not working anyway, as anyone familiar with JB Say knows. It is illegal for Most employers to give many employees an increase !!!!!!! So guess what employers do not? He devised a way to circumvent this restriction, and compensate their employees more to keep them. How? "Benefits" which includes health insurance, dental insurance, etc … Because a group of employees is usually a good team – the people, at least functional enough to have jobs – and because it offers the opportunity to sell policies to hundreds or thousands of people at once – Insurance companies consider this a great idea. Uh, Mez, not let me be misunderstood here – - – Starbucks pays for health insurance.
Many many workers do not work for companies that offer health insurance. And many that do, the employer pays 20% or less of the monthly premium (as my airline ground), many companies CHEAPEST buy coverage they can get absolute increase their own profits, and all workers of many who are comfortable with health insurance, come to discover when they or their loved ones get sick, discovering too late that Insurace refuses to pay for that particular disease or procedure. It's in ruins.
