That's compared to estimates.
Actual premiums saw a spike post-ACA
That simply isn't true. But good try using google.
Here is the CBO report
Also, here is the Kaiser Family Foundation report if you prefer a non-governmental entity with nonpartisan credentials.

but the stability for premiums belies some other changes that have occurred during the period. Deductibles continued to grow in 2016; over the last five years, the percentage of covered workers facing a general annual deductible has grown from 74% to 83%, while the average single deductible amount (among those facing a deductible) increased from $991 to $1,478. These higher deductibles likely contributed to the moderating premium increases over this period.

The foundation is 100% pro ACA and is in no way impartial.
