        @Atul_Gawande @Altarum if HC PRICE rise lowest in 50 yrs, why did my GEHA premium rise by 7% for 2014? Does aging explain everything?

        @Atul_Gawande @Altarum This is everything to do with deflation of HC bubble and nothing to do with ACA which just may prolong it for a while

        @Atul_Gawande @Altarum Surely healthcare inflation (not prices) was low?

        @Atul_Gawande @Altarum I think the it says that health care growth is lower; not the price itself. #politics

        @Atul_Gawande @Altarum there seem to be a number of theories including larger macro trends (ie recession)--and question of sustainability.

        @Atul_Gawande @Altarum We won't realize 800 billion in savings this way. Pts w/high deductibles need transparent fees. Then real savings.
