Do you know why health insurance came about? I’ve been trying to trace it down - I know it was the early 80s … It was Reagan wasn’t it? I bet it was …

This is Tom “This all changed in 1943, thanks to a decision by the War Labor Board, which declared benefits (like health insurance) that employers provide for their employees do not count as “wages.” This is significant because there were government-imposed wage caps, and price caps on nearly everything, in an attempt to stave off wartime inflation. During World War II, the labor market was tight and companies – desperate to keep production moving for the war effort and everyday civilian needs – competed for workers but couldn’t raise wages to help their recruitment efforts. But if health insurance wasn’t considered “wages,” voila! “ “Employers began offering health insurance plans to give workers extra money in their pockets without raising wages (and breaking laws). This, combined with a growing number of unionized employees and new, favorable tax laws that made employer-sponsored healthcare non-taxable, made the 1940s and 1950s a period of extreme growth for health insurance. By 1960, over 68 percent of the U.S. population was estimated to have some form of private health insurance: an astronomical growth from the 1940 numbers.” https://agentsync.io/blog/loa/the-history-of-health-insurance-past-present-and-future

Wow! Thank you! My Dad had told me about insurance being used to recruit workers - but I didn’t know the rest of it - it goes back so much further than I thought!

I agree about getting rid of subscriptions with bad journalism. Any online new sources that you would recommend that provides news and real journalism?

I've been watching the NHK English channel on Youtube for some truly professional journalism. I also use an ad-blocker for American and British news, and if they ask me to turn it off, I leave immediately. As for social media, Twitter and Facebook are full of BS, but Metafilter is still around, and they post quality links to current news stories.
