Health care cost are going down and will continue to do so. Partly out of anticipation of competition. The lower costs are exceeding projections. My guess is because the insurance companies were ripping us off more than we knew. Now that the light of day is shining on their operations, costs are falling.

<<To suggest that health care cost will go down before the majority of Obamacare goes into effect is nuts. Maybe you are confused between health care cost and insurance cost?

Health care costs will drop dramatically as the hold on cannibis research by the pharmaceutical and liquor industries eases

Once unprofitable cure regimes replace lucrative treatment regimes, we can expect substantial cost savings

..of course like for profit health insurance, it might result in a hit to the dividends of drug company shares, but that is a cost of civilization

But again, who are the winners and losers....
