Price accords had a temporary effect to slow inflation last month. It's temporary because the causes of inflation are related to strong domestic demand in response to expansive monetary and fiscal policies. Furthermore, the peso weakening and lower unemployment should add more pressure to the price levels.

We will not be able to freeze tuition for undergraduate students in 2006 with a state appropriation that looks like it might be near the same level we received five years ago. The increase in inflation and other costs over the past five years will have to be supported by more internal belt-tightening and our only other main income stream -- tuition.

The census numbers tell us what we've known for years -- that soaring health care inflation is making health insurance unaffordable, so more folks go uninsured, and those who can afford it find their policies cover less and less. The data shows a continued deterioration in the use of employer-provided health insurance and increased reliance on Medicaid and public programs. If it had not been for more people moving into public programs, the number of uninsured would have increased another 2.3 million, the statistics show.
