As expected, 4 of the top 5 most inflated categories see significant government interference in the market.

I mostly agree with this, with the exception of healthcare. Not to say the government is helping any, but the for-profit model for healthcare doesn't seem to align itself with overall wellbeing.

Exactly! Every one of the "losing" categories are somehow subsidized, regulated or "helped" by inefficient and inept government interference and those left unencumbered by government "assistance" have thrived. When will we learn?

I noticed that inflation-adjusted prices seemed to increase most for services that are heavily regulated by the government.
