I've seen that as the common phrase when discussing health care expenditures. How does "the skyrocketing demand for the most expensive healthcare options" sound as a partilal cause?
I get x-rays at the docs office, take generics that do well enough instead of the "latest and greatest" with high co-pays, and at my age take a fair number of medications. I haven't seen an overall increase that wasn't in the range of the usual annual rise in the cost of living.
I expect that those who just gotta have the medical equivalent of a lear jet wouldn't be able to say the same.
