But it's not clear to me that medical and education are good examples of cost disease?
For instance, technology means cancer is more easily treated that it was in the past.
Education, I'm less sure about. A lot of the tech there is very new, it takes time for evidence to build up.
It's misguided to focus on one special case of the cost disease problem where human by definition must provide the services, when most of the time this is not the case.
