The problem is that quality healthcare didn't become an entitlement over night. For many, many years most (all?) people didn't have access to quality healthcare. Over time more and more people got access to quality healthcare until the number of people reached a critical point where people decided they were entitled to it. Before it was viewed as an entitlement it made sense for businesses to offer it as a perk.
