Historically, the roots of the American healthcare system can be traced back to the early 20th century when employer-based health insurance began to take shape. The post-World War II era saw a surge in employer-sponsored plans, which prompted a shift in the way individuals accessed healthcare. This model presented both advantages and challenges, leading to varying quality of care and access based on employment status and socio-economic factors.

Over the years, healthcare policies have been shaped by shifting attitudes towards health and wellness, culminating in landmark legislations such as the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010. This act aimed to expand coverage to millions of uninsured Americans, highlighting the ongoing struggle for equitable access to care. Nonetheless, the implementation of such policies has often sparked debates surrounding the roles of government and private entities in healthcare provision.
