Limited access to national health insurance in post-WWII America

The creation of national health insurance in post-WWII America was blocked, leading to limited access to healthcare for many citizens. The American Medical Association (AMA) played a central role in blocking the creation of national health insurance. As a result, people were enrolled in private health insurance, shifting demand away from a public alternative. This led to a bottleneck in healthcare access for those who could not afford private insurance.
