because third parties end up paying the medical bills, not end users, the normal market pressures to provide a better product at reduced cost are not as strong.

That is very much a factor in medicine, or anything involving insurance in the payment loop.

What I was referring to is a different effect. Look a teachers. Fundamentally, there jobs have not changed much over time. A teacher faces a class of students for about an hour. Technology has not changed this fact much, although conceivable it could. In fact technology has most likely added to the cost of education, since computers must be replaced and software updated quite rapidly, so teaching such fields requires additional capitol expenditures.
