"All told, health care costs have been growing more slowly over the last three years than any other time period since 1965."

So much for unabated cost growth in healthcare.

Yup, no doubt that the last two years have seen some abatement in the rise of health spending DUE TO THE RECESSION.

"National health care spending continues to grow at historically low rates this year -- but it will rise faster over the next decade as the economy recovers, the population ages and President Barack Obama's health care reform law adds millions to the the health insurance rolls, according to a federal audit released Wednesday."

Wow. A US gov't study suggesting that Obamacare putting more folks on insurance coverage will fuel increases in health care costs. What a shocker, huh?
