I still believe that costs would have increased a lot, because people live less healthy lives these days and technology has improved a lot, which means that many more things can be saved.

This would be true only if prices had escalated at a similar rate and people used medical services at a similar rate. But neither of those would have occurred. People would likely not have sought medical treatment for most of the effects of unhealthy lives because they would not have been thought of as medical problems and, for actual medical problems, would have been more circumspect in their use of medical services.
