Lower pay and lower cost items. We have about the same number of doctors as 100 years ago, according to a piece I read at Mises.org a few years ago (the 'resident' slots are fixed and invariant).

Pay for the medical profession (and overhead e.g. in hospitals) must come down lest they be serving no one very soon. Seems like trouble brewin' with the Hippocratic Oath.
