This was a consequence of WW II labor shortages and the government froze wages. So companies used benefits like health care instead. It should have been outlawed after the war. It is very anti-worker and many people won't change jobs for no reason other than healthcare. It has also created an issue where the health "insurance" companies don't have to compete like they do in car insurance, etc.
