uh you said there was no inflation 15 minutes ago. Now you're citing rising medical insurance rates in the double digits as a "good thing" how drunk are you? also noting that your cherry picked data excludes food and energy, lol. don't start a business is my advice.

"That’s a remarkable break from decades of health-care prices outpacing inflation, but consumers shouldering a greater share of their medical costs may not notice the difference." "Patients don’t notice the lower prices Medicare pays. And more insurance companies and employers are nudging people toward high-deductible health plans that shift risk onto consumers in exchange for lower premiums. Even if the price of going to the doctor hasn’t gone up much in the past five years, a lot of people are paying a bigger portion of the bill." above from your link. You do this on a regular basis. It seems you're limited to the headline then the details just fly right by your brain. As I pointed our several years ago, the ACA is designed to shift the cost of healthcare as well as health insurance squarely onto the middle class and poor. In other words, Romneycare, a Republican contrivance which is in essence more corporate welfare with less actual healthcare. This is why Stanford hospital is now a service center for the entire northern Cal geographic area. 2,500/day to the ER because the typical OBummercare poor person can't afford the deductible, can't get a primary care physician, etc. The ER person told me the know Stanford won't refuse them so they come to the ER and stay until the main cause of their visit is cared for. Stanford being Stanford, the cost is immense. Of course the patient is essentially bankrupt after leaving.
