thanks to an accident of history

Non-PRO English to Spanish Other Economics sistema sanitario estadounidense
Estoy traduciendo un texto acerca del sistema sanitario (funcionamiento, financiación...) en Estados Unidos.
No sé traducir la siguiente frase: Thanks to an accident of history.
Aparece en el siguiente párrafo:
Yet it is the only rich country that does not guarantee universal health coverage. Thanks to an accident of history, most Americans receive health insurance through their employer, with the government picking up the bill for the poor (through Medicaid) and elderly (Medicare).
¿Alguien me podría ayudar?
MUchas gracias.
un saludo.
