Health care prices in October rose 0.9% from Oct.'12 - smallest increase in more than 50 years.  

This is consistent with recent data.  The cost curve has been significantly declining over the last few years, and even more so since ACA.   Not certain if ACA is a factor but quite possible it is.  There are many features in ACA not so well known that can contribute to the decline.

Share of privately insured women paying $0 out of pocket for oral contraceptives grew from 15 to 40%  

Thanks to the ACA, preventive care from birth control to checkups to cancer screenings is covered for free, without a copay, under every insurance plan.  

Impressive stats.
