Obamacare One; Doomsdayers Zip

The trustees’ report concluded that the recent slowdown in health spending growth and various cost-saving reforms provided by Obamacare would continue to contribute to a slowdown in spending by the Federal government on all its health care measures, Medicare included.

To quote the report: “In recent years, U.S. national health expenditure (NHE) growth has slowed relative to previous historical patterns.  The Board [further]assumes that various cost-reduction measures … will occur as the Affordable Care Act requires.”

One of these days, those who operate out of fear and distrust will learn the error of their ways and quit trying to scare the daylights out of the rest of us.
