The total cost to my dad when I was born in 1954 was $250.  That included Mom being in the hospital for 5 days with me.  My co-pay when my daughter was born was coincidentally  the very same and they booted mother and child in 36 hours.


Medicare came about in 1965 and around the same period came govt set wage control which was the birth of commonly held medical insurance.


The answer to why something is wrong with this country is virtually always the same: government screwed it up.  And sadly it has nothing to do with unintended consequences.
