History of Healthcare Financing
• Late 19th and early 20th century– Care provided at patient’s or doctor’s home– Self-pay/charity payment for services– Increasing advancement of medicine as a science
especially in surgery and infectious disease – AMA standardizes medical education and quality of
care improves– Medical care for illness moves out of the home to
doctor’s office, surgical care at hospitals– Commercial health insurance not available due to
unpredictability of health and “moral hazard”

Early Hospital & Physician Health Plans
• In 1929, 1300 Dallas school teachers contract with Baylor Hospital for 21 days hospitalization for 50¢/month each
– Hospital service plans - steady stream of income– Exempt from most state insurance regulations– Later becomes Blue Cross
• Physicians fearing loss of control form own associations
– In 1939, California physicians form pre-paid healthcare services plan
– Blue Shield Association

Employer Pre-paid Plans• Ross-Loos Medical Group provided pre-paid care to
Los Angeles County employees– Believed to be first HMO in US– Focus on quality of care including preventive care
• Surgeon Dr. Sidney Garfield starts pre-paid medical practice– 1930s – Organizes employer pre-paid plan for construction
workers on the Los Angeles Aqueduct and Grand Coulee Dam and Kaiser Shipyards during WWII
– Fixed payment per employee per month– Subsequently, formed Permanente Health Plan
• Open to the public• Union support boosts growth

Commercial Health Insurance
• Commercial insurance carriers offer group health insurance– Compete against the Blues– Employer (group) enrollment spreads risk and
addresses “moral hazard”– Experience rating vs. community rating –
lower rates for young healthy individuals

Factors Influencing Development of Commercial Health Insurance
• WWII wage controls – Employers offer health insurance as a benefit to
attract skilled employees• IRS favorable tax treatment
– Employer – free of payroll tax– Employee -- no income tax
• Employer sponsored health contracts non-cancellable
• 1949 – Unions may negotiate health insurance benefits as part of wages

HMO Plans
• Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973– Federal grants and loans to encourage HMOs
• Required employers offering traditional health plans to offer HMO option– HMO offers comprehensive, prepaid health
coverage for hospital and physician services through specific health care providers
– Gave pre-paid health plans access to the employer based insurance market
