You are claiming that ObamaCare was the cause of the growth slowing down. You don't know this and there is no way to know this.

That is what CBO & NGO reports are for....and yes, that is what they say.

Used that to respond to multiple people, not just you.

And what is fact?

Premium growth slowed as the ACA was implemented, which contradicts the claim that it caused premiums to skyrocket (as though they weren't before).

Blind acceptance of "fact" is much more dangerous to our society than questioning it, don't you think?

There is a big difference between trusting qualified individuals proclaiming fact due to their credentials and proven methods, rather than someone who has no experience or credentials on a subject. Of course, some things need to be questioned. But others definitely don't, and definitely not by some people who are doing so with no evidence or reasonable theory to.

But there are numbers and facts which will not, and do not change.
