Living costs rising despite cooling inflation

"Rises in pharmaceutical products, medical and hospital services, electricity and fruit and vegetables have contributed to higher living costs for all household types this quarter," ABS acting head of prices statistics Neel Tikaram said. Their health costs spiked after thresholds for the Medicare Safety Net and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) were reset on January 1, reducing the number of households that qualified for the schemes. OED gives the etymology from educare and the base Latin form would be educo but this had/has two different senses.

The first is the rearing or raising of children, livestock, comparable to modern sense, and the second is to draw or lead out, to bring before a court, to raise, to bring up the rear, etc. I like what the second sense brings with the image of a civilized human being being drawn out of a great ape with a language facility.
