Actually it started during world war 2 , the kaiser family built ships and finding employees was hard during the war. The first health insurance started then as an employee enticement. What happened in the 60's was medicaid and medicare.
If you changed to medicare for all , it wouldn't end insurance . Medicare for all would give you a base level of care and if you wanted better you would buy supplemental policies. Like it goes now for the elderly.
