When did healthcare become "broken" in the US? It hasn't always been so, back to 1776, right? I think the answer is pretty obvious.

It became broken as a side effect of wage control regulations during WW2 that encouraged healthcare to be tied to employers. The second world war is long over but this particular unintended consequence is still with us.
