          How about sticking to the actual topic: Medicine and dentistry.

          Getting a basic filling in 1925 versus the same procedure in 2025.

          Regardless of who pays (government, the patient, insurance, etc) which would be more expensive?

        Cost of model T in 1913: $14,000

        Cost of model T in 1916: $9,000

        See how the price went down after its 1909 release ? 😁
