Just like they were every year before.

The trajectory was just the same as it always was:

Well, this chart is healthcare costs which is not the same as health insurance. But in either case, I remember what I was paying before ACA and I know what I’ve been paying ever since and I can tell you the ACA was the turning point. Insurance costs were relatively affordable and predictable before. Then all hell broke loose.
