The price of things going up is largely inflation. But for things that are government subsidized/regulated/mandated like health care, there's also the bureaucratic industrial complex that grows around it. Prices on those things will continue to go up with almost no end as the bureaucracies around them will keep getting more and more expensive and beat even the monetary expansion rate. This is often the part of the inflation that's not just hidden in the CPI, but unavoidable in many ways.

It's also the whole "number has to go up" companies have. But once you account for money supply inflation all of those "gains" evaporate.

The numbers aren't real!

Four major industries experience disproportionate price hikes: automobiles, college, healthcare, and real estate. The reasons are two: government involvement (subsidy and bureaucracy, as you mention), and fiat currency with fractional reserve banking (which makes loans cheap, but you can't pay people on loans).

Healthcare, education, housing, defense. Everything the government virtue signals about meets this fate.
