What? Why expect this to happen? Wouldn't cryonics groups plan for this? They do explicitly say how much money is required to be set aside via insurance for people to join, while that could change, why expect them to renege on their promises (contracts? I'm not too familiar) to preserve people for the previously set amount of money?
I wouldn't trust a business that didn't plan for changes in the cost of its raw material commodities to so much as make ice for a lemonade stand, much less freeze people. A claim like yours should have some clarification.
When I talked to Alcor, they said that they had raised the cost to join for new members several times, but had never increased the costs for existing members. They also said not to take that as a guarantee that they would never raise the costs for existing members, because they wouldn't guarantee that.
