Barry a lot of the overall inflation is caused by fuel prices and...price gouged, jacked up medical costs.

You can't say "Everything else has went up too" if you don't take into account the things that caused that to happen. And one of them is medical costs in the USA.

There is an entire industry of medical tourism because of it. There is just no way that hospitals can justify what they charge.
And as for big pharma...the Feds hold their hands and allow them to continue to charge U.S. citizens more than any place else on Earth.

There's a reason that big hospital corp. and big pharma have tons of lobbyists in Washington D.C.
You wouldn't think that medical companies would need lobbyists. But such is the greed in our govt. these days.
