How did the United States come to have its distinctive workplace-based health insurance system? This book explores the history of health insurance in the US from its roots in the 19th-century sickness funds offered by industrial employers and labour unions to the rise of group plans such as Blue Cross Blue Shield in the mid-twentieth century.
