Or I suppose the more logical explanation is that all those people are talking out of their ass.

If you BELIEVE that Healthcare costs are FALLING, then you are a lost cause I dont have to spend 20 pages explaining why youre wrong. Just keep drinking the Kool Aid

Blank, I think you don't know how to interpret your own posted report.
What is spent on healthcare is not the same topic as the new Obamacare rates. Apples to oranges.

Healthcare costs have slowed. That's what I said, and that's what the data shows. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Well I just spent one post telling you how you were wrong, so apparantly you know something all those people don't know. Please, share it with the rest of us.

I believe what the data shows. Nothing more. The data says healthcare spending and cost growth is lower than it's been in 50 years, it even says ACA is the cause. It also says readmission rates are also slowing. That almost directly contradicts your claim of costs rising and quality of care falling. So, if you have some information that contradicts what all those people researched, then please, share it with us.
