You read this right? The smart money is betting on much lower consumer health care cost increases. YOY increase was the lowest in 60 years... I know, coincidental, nothing to do with ObamaCare <g>.

It seems like the CBO is projecting lower premiums because the plans will offer less - "lower payment rates for providers, narrower networks of providers, and tighter management of their subscribers’ use of health care than employment-based plans".

Listen we've been talking on this thread about bending the cost curve for God knows how many years, so we're not about twice as expensive as the rest of the industrialized world. Well, it appears it's happening. I know it doesn't fit with the narrative here. Too bad. The other option is to bankrupt the country... so don't worry be happy.
