Your harking back to a time when doctors had little knowledge and even less means of diagnosing and treating disease. As the knowledge rose and the tools developed to treat people so did the costs rise

Mr Neutron

Lol your funny what is it that you don't believe
1. We know more about medicine than the past
2. Modern equipment/ treatments cost more than back when we didn't have them

Is technology the only reason for increased medical costs? I don't think it's that simple. The cars of today are technologically more advanced than the cars of the past but I don't see many people walking. Laser eye surgery used to be very expensive but as the technology advanced, the prices came down. Hmmmm, I wonder how that happened.

If you are looking for a simple reason there isnt one
you can look at
- more hospitals being built
-more doctors working for hospital chains
- fraud in healthcare
- self referrals
I go in for a yearly check up
170 bucks
lab work
300 bucks
analysis of lab work
80 bucks a test
Is it the goverments fault?
yours?
mine?
the doctors?

With new cars your either looking at technology that was developed 10 or so years ago OR your looking at 1/2 a mill upwards in price with new tech
There's a few things in medicine that's stagnant enough to benefit from economies of scale but not many
