What you're arguing is ridiculous. Yes a nurse in the states is paid more than one in India, so is a backhoe operator, and all the little people that pay the nurse's salary. Yet the nurses salary and all the little people's salary have at best kept up with inflation while medical cost have far outstripped inflation. You have to look at the cost of medical care as a percentage of avaliable income. In the USA it has continuously gotten a bigger bite of a persons available income. Why? Its not technology. The basic underlying fact is that technology makes things more available and cheaper. Outside of government enforced monopolies and regulation.
In 1987 I got a top of the line compaq 80386 pc 16mhz processor, 10Mbyte hard drive and monochrome monitor for $10,000, it was the size of a fair suit case. The cell in my pocket is so far beyond that pc, its like compairing the sun with a light bulb, cost about $500. The same has held true for technology throughout the ages, take technology and cost in weaving for example.
If you still want to stammer but but but, medical is different. Take strictly elective medical care, the kind you can't get anyone else to pay for, like cosmetic surgery. The cost has gone down, its become more widely available and the quality is far beyond what it once was.
And El Cheapo, you can get just as good medical care in places around the world as you can in the USA. In Thailand for example, at a fraction of the cost in the USA. The guy in Thailands cell phone cost pretty close to what yours did.
Sure you can't travel for an emergency, the point is why should you have to? Medical care has far beyond inflation because its a government regulated monopoly.
Since it seems to be a topic dear to you I'd suggest reviewing Denningers work on the subject, he has covered it broadly.
