before and since passage of obamacare huge numbers of people lost their jobs, and that means a lot of them had to decide whether to pay out of pocket or not use the medical system. that explains a lot of the slower rise in medical care spending.

if the medical system were based on consumer choice of insurance and their own out of pocket expenses rather than having an employer or the government pay for them, medical spending would go down much more. this is due to competition, consumers knowing what actual care costs are, value decisions made each time a consumer decides about each personal medical situation.
