Oh good, let's see you present to me evidence that the inflation rate of health care in the US is below that of the inflation rate of the country as a whole. Can you do that? Because that's my point. No, because the cost increases were not due to the affordable care act, they were due to Medicare Part D. The goal of the ACA was to reduce the number of people without insurance. Controlling pharmaceutical costs is outside of the scope and for that you can blame the law that specifically forbids the government from controlling pharmaceutical costs.
