This analysis tells the story of how Hawaii came to have a mandatory employer-provider health insurance law. Based on interviews and review of published materials, the authors conclude that the history of Hawaii's plantation and immigrant economy engendered a culture of very efficient production of health care. This, combined with the progressive political transformation and the economic surge after World War II, brought a wave of broad-minded social legislation, which originated near-universal health insurance coverage and contributed to a higher health status in Hawaii. The investigation is offered to health policy analysts and decision-makers as a learning case study
