This topic would have to be moved to the pre 1900 forum, because it was then that the foundations of social welfare were laid in Europe, in Germany mandatory social insurance (health, accident and pension insurance) was introduced in between 1883 and 1889 by Bismarck as a means to fight the rise of social democracy.
In fact the origins of lay even much further in the past.
As for the netherlands its origins lay in charity that slowly became institutional and then taken over by government. So result of a long time development.
What bismarck did was mere finalisation of an already underway development.
To get all this to change you do need a pod in early 1800s in my opinion.
