Overall health care costs are still rising (because there are more people insured, because there are more older people, etc), but they are rising at a slower rate.

From the link:

While total health spending will still rise over the long run, the slower-than-expected growth predicted within the next five years has “sharply improved the nation’s fiscal outlook,” Jason Furman, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, wrote on the White House blog.

So back to what I posted yesterday . . . one of the stated goals of Obamacare was to reduce overall healthcare costs to Americans.

That part of Obamacare has failed, correct?

NOT YET

GIVE IT TIME, TEABAGGER

Sure. The law isn't perfect and reducing overall costs is going to take more than just a year, even if it works as intended.

BL.... Do you disagree with trump on the bland comments he made during this interview?


Cooper: ... To African Americans in this country, and there's a lot of people who believe they are treated differently by police. Do you believe that there's a problem with that?

Trump: I hope not but I will tell you that I saw that clip, on your show, by the way. I thought it was terrible. He was so aggressive. It was a traffic signal as I understand it. And you know, who gets out of a car for a traffic signal? I haven't been pulled over in a while actually. But, seriously he just looked very aggressive. I didn't like his demeanor. I thought it was terrible to be honest with you. And I'm a huge fan of the police. I think the police have to be given back power but this guy was overly aggressive, terribly aggressive.

Cooper: Do you think that happens to African Americans more than it does to you or I?

Trump: I hope it doesn't but, it might. And, you know, I have a great relationship with African Americans, as you possibly have heard. I just have great respect for them and you know they like me. I like them. The answer is, it possibly does. It shouldn't and its very sad if the case is. ... I will say though in this case I watched that so closely. I watched it a few times. He was terrible.

GREAT ANSWER

IF OBAMA SAID THAT, THERE WOULD BE OUTRAGE IN THE CONSERVATIVE MEDIA

There will probably still be outrage in the conservative media.... Except that they won't talk about this case. No other candidate has.

I have no idea what traffic stop he's talking about, but ok. Sure, I agree with him.

I was stopped by the police recently.   I wasn't beaten or shot.
