After the depression a new problem plagued hospitals. Access to technology was great and diverse. Because private and public institutions still existed, the availability of technology mirrored that.
There were many suggested routes for the distribution of technology unsurprisingly the approach that was adopted was called the private, "voluntary approach. It abandoned existing networks of hospitals and practitioners, instead it allowed technological adaptation to be arranged through a private prepayment method which primarily targeted the middle class.
The hospitals of the mid 20th century were a plethora of diseases. Practitioners began hospitalizing a wide variety of cases. By the end of the 40s, one seven out of every one hundred patients were admitted.
So with this increased patient presence the importance of technology was at an all time high. Hospitals were dealt a problem. How do they give the low class workers dealing with debt issues the same level of care that the rich private patients paid to feel entitled to?
First they tried to rely on insurance, although that should have provided a mean to remove the financial barriers confronting all patients. There was a large problem concerning poverty. The economically deprived individuals were unfortunately unable to pay for insurance and their inability prevented the large scale implication of the health insurance for technology scheme.
This wasn't a problem for the large booming hospitals of the 30s. Where the smaller institutions had to find ways to adapt to the technological problem the large hospitals were booming technological meccas. They adopted new therapies and provided cutting edge instruction.
But with all meccas their downfall came with the increased presence of laboratory techs. As the administrative side of the hospital started to out number the practicing side, labor organizations had to be reviewed once again. This caused a shift in revenue, and these large meccas had to find a new way to adapt to the future.
Enter the Blue Cross. Health Insurance took over, and the American hospital system was united under insurance.
