You know... I bet Kaiser would have some interesting data on this, on the healthcare side. As i recall they keep track of the cost breakdowns of healthcare.

I seem to recall it not being the service parts that were rising our costs rapidly but the pharmaceutical and medical devices branches.

 

 

For me, healthcare is so expensive pretty much because it's dealing with the one commoditity that is priceless to most people.  Their lives.

So we want the best treatments and techs even if the improvements in survival chance are miniscule and we're spending tons of money.
