- The U.S. government’s involvement in healthcare after World War II shifted financing from charities to the state, but unlike Europe, it rationalized healthcare under private ownership, embedding corporate interests into the system.
- Bureaucratic professionals, medical industries like hospitals and insurance companies and the corporate class aligned to expand the medical market, maintaining private control over healthcare.
- The American Medical Association has historically been the central figure opposing any changes to the status quo that could harm corporate interests.
- Pharmaceutical, hospital, and insurance industries now dominate healthcare lobbying and have in recent years become far more influential in health policy than the AMA.
- The commodification of healthcare has led to unequal access, soaring costs and systemic issues like poverty and pollution being overlooked in favor of blaming individuals and lifestyles for health problems.
The intervention of the federal government in healthcare post-World War II led to American healthcare becoming intrinsically tied to capitalist interests that promoted centralization, privatization and the prioritization of profit over care.
This is according to physician and author E. Richard Brown in his seminal book “Rockefeller Medicine Men: Medicine and Capitalism in America,” published in 1979, which lays out in detail the history behind government encroachment upon healthcare and how this allowed corporate interests to sneak in and slowly take over.
According to Brown, following World War II, the government became the primary financier of healthcare for a time, replacing charities and other private entities like the Rockefeller Foundation. The goal of the state was to rationalize the medical system, but instead of going the way of Europe, where state-controlled health systems were established and care and insurance was nationalized, the U.S. chose to rationalize healthcare under private ownership, leading to a situation wherein medical care became capital intensive.
Three groups further helped rationalize medicine under corporatism: Bureaucratic professionals, medical industries like hospitals and health insurance companies, and the larger corporate class. Their interests aligned with the expansion of the medical market and allowed them to maintain private control over healthcare.
American Medical Association instrumental in corporations maintaining control over U.S. healthcare
At the center of this century-long fiasco is the American Medical Association (AMA), which has served as the primary organization opposing any kind of federal intervention in the medical industry – not out of a desire to prevent the centralization of medicine at the hands of government, but to protect corporate interests.
