Medical inflation (called Trend) has gone up much higher than the CPI for many years. Trend has continued to outpace inflation.

"His comment about the $2,500 was worded badly in that he clarified that he meant to say your premium would be $2,500 less w/the ACA than w/o it. "

In trying to sell the bill, he said premiums for the typical family would decrease by $2500 a year. "Worded badly"? Is that what you said about Trump's Access Hollywood comments?

"I'd rather have to find a new Dr. than lose my insurance"

Agreed 100%.
