Apparently, there is some "fallacy" about rising health care costs.
Huh?
In the 1990s, weren't we peddled managed-care as the way to ... limit health care costs?
The managed care experiment couldn't reign in the supply side cost growth, ultimately.
If Tyler really wants to posit that health care services inflation is being driven by runaway demand, I don't think he'll have much company...
All the same, as I have been saying a long time, no one appears to have built a decision-quality, public dataset that elucidates the cost drivers in the U.S. Sytem, so expect full blown, waste-of-time ideological arguments over 'the facts'... We tried, with the Federal database, but, on last look, it was not detailed enough. Right idea, not done well.
