Abstract
Why have healthcare costs risen so precipitously? For one thing, the medical scene itself has changed, as Dr. William Schwartz, author of The Painful Prescription remembers. In the 1950s health-related expenditures comprised 5 percent or less of gross domestic expenditures in the United States. Technological advances like MRI and CT scans, non-invasive examination procedures, and increased expectations factor into the higher costs.
