Thanks to the new technology used in cataract surgery, the operation now restores vision dramatically and is less expensive. These two factors have caused the number of cataract operations performed to increase greatly, which has, in turn, driven up the total amount spent on cataract surgery.
Which one of the following can be inferred from the passage
A. Ten years ago, few people had successful cataract surgery.
B. In the long run, the advantages of advanced medical technology are likely to be outweighed by the disadvantages.

D. Huge increases in the nation’s health care costs are due primarily to increased demand for surgery for older people.
E. (E) Ten years ago, cataract surgery was affordable for more people than it was last year.
