Doctor Fees Rising Faster Than Inflation Says Government Study
A government study finds physician bills rose 9.3 percent in 1977 while overall consumer prices gained 6.2 percent. It cites widespread employer paid insurance and rising demand as key drivers, with 80 percent of the population covered by medical insurance reducing market pressure on fees. The report notes a 1950 to this year jump in spending on doctors from 2.7 to 35 billion dollars and highlights high earnings for pathologists and radiologists, with general practitioners averaging about 44 thousand dollars in 1975.
