Except they aren't when healthcare spending has had a greater than 100 year history of increasing exponentially. Even then you're wrong. Just looking at inflation adjusted spending, single premiums increased $2,074 and family premiums $7,283 in the decade before the ACA went into effect; and $791/$2,727 in the ten years after the law went into effect.
