"Health care inflation" isn't directly comparable to the overall inflation rate, as the quality and amount of health care has been rising alongside the increasing percentage of GDP we spend on it. Compared to when the only available remedies were bloodletting and leeches, I bet we spend a lot more on the health care sector.

Are you seriously making excuses for the overpriced health care in the US? Every other country has the same procedures we have in the US at lower prices.
