Nothing in this article was a byproduct of ACA and it all predated it. But also in no way did it reduce costs, that’s a lie. Who even says that? Unless you’re only considering very specific benefits like birth control. Overall it increased costs, even when Medicare of any government program announces a reduction or sequestration the industry just raises prices everywhere else to offset. I’ve been in those decisions when I worked in the industry. We never let it flow through to bottom line, we always found a way.
