America, late 19th century, the industrial revolution expanded through US cities. Such economic innovation initiated, however, problems came with such innovations. Such work brought forth environments for workplace injuries.
As these environments grew, so did worker unions. Companies suffer losses in productivity to these incidents, and workers suffer losses in income. To mitigate these losses, companies began offering forms of sickness protection to their employees. These sickness protection plans become the first recorded history of Healthcare within the US.
Fast forward to 2010, and expenses on health care, healthcare research, and healthcare products and services have increased magnitude of 10x. However, 10x increase was since 1980, not the 1800s. In 2010, healthcare brought an economy of costs of more than $2.6 trillion USD annually. "This translates to the largest figure per capita in the industrial world."
In 2010, 16% of the US population remained uninsured. And 50% of all under insurance were through an employer. Meaning, if any of those 150 million people lost their job and suffered an accident, they would be in an acute need for financial help.
The biggest issue in medicine isn't a needed innovation in technology. The biggest problem in medicine is financing. Institutions researching new medical cures and technologies do their research on the funding of others. Likewise, individuals require funding as well. In 2010, there were ~50 million Americans without healthcare coverage.
