I assume you mean the article which states that Obamacare has very little (if anything) to do with the slower growth. Or does your opinion changes those items found in the article?

the article only compares a bad projection to what is happening. Look at the link I provided and you'll see that medical costs are on a normal pace, while insurance cost are rising faster than normal.

But healthcare costs are sitll increasing at pretty much a normal rate. We usually see a 4-6% annual increase in healthcare costs and that what we're still seeing. So if the rate of increase is within the normal range, then where's the story (other than a really bad prediction made in 2010)?

Also, while healthcare costs are holding at a normal rate of increase, healthcare insurance costs are rising far faster.
