“A Brief History of US Medicine: The Role of Government and the Nature of Insurance”

What is the history of health insurance in the United States - and how have regulations contributed to the rising costs of both insurance and health care? How does insurance work - and why is it NOT working in health care the same way that it works in other types of insurance (fire, life, auto, etc)?
