by Catherine Mulbrandon on June 22, 2008

I have plotted the annual inflation (CPI-U) for transportation sector (cars, trucks, airline fares, public transportation, gasoline, repairs, insurance etc…) and medical care sector (prescription drugs, medical supplies, doctor visits, dentists, hospital services, insurance etc…) from 1935 to 2007.
