Comfortably Moderate
The inflation rate for health care has historically, has increased at a greater rate than the CPI.
And why do you think that is? That extraordinary inflation only happen after LBJ screwed with the health care system in this country. All the subsequent meddling in health care at the state and federal level (from Dem's and Re pubs alike) only made the situation worse. Limit real competition and prices go up.
If you look at the chart I posted with Post #10, the health care cost started rising faster than the CPI in the mid 80's, 20 years after LBJ. I'm not defending LBJ mind you, I'm just addressing your theory.
