California hospital costs have surged from about 815.62 daily in 1950 to 244.83 daily in 1977, a sixfold rise beyond living costs. Officials warn price regulations may be needed as experts cite capacity, technology, insurance, and demand as drivers. Authorities differ on how to curb inflation without distorting care.
