An increase in medical price inflation by 5.2 percent above what it would have been otherwise by 2019.

Only 5.2 percent over 10 years? That's way less than 1% a year. I don't believe it. It will increase costs far more than that since the government will be picking up the tab for these costs more and more without effective competition.
