We need to remember that many of the most expensive treatments today did not exist decades ago. Cancer, heart disease, etc, have plenty of super expensive life-extending treatments today that were not part of the equation before--people just died. Then toss in more obesity, stress, etc, and insurance costs are up again.
Not saying the insurers are good guys--they're often heartless bastards--only that they are spending more per person due to medical advances and lifestyle declines
