4. If you take 2.5 trillion and assume 3% yearly
You get 3.5 trillion in 2019. That means that health care cost increases are brought in check roughly with inflation.

I would argue that with the growing elderly population, if health care increases only at the rate of inflation, some efficiency is being gained.

I think what Maryland with health care was a good thing. If more states started emulating that, the 45 million uninsured people would shrink.
