Costs of health care rise with broader inflation themes
The testimony argues private health care costs rise with general inflation. It cites Marvin H. Edwards noting physician fees up 3.7 percent yearly 1956–68, 21 percent 1967–70, and overall health costs up 12.9 percent 1968–70, framing them against wages, groceries, and housing. It highlights hospital overhead driven by wage gains and argues reforms should target government policies, not expand intervention.
