May 30 (Bloomberg) -- There was a time when all anyone in
Washington wanted to talk about was “bending the health-care
cost curve.” Forget covering the uninsured -- the ultimate test
of the Affordable Care Act would be the trajectory of health-care costs.
But Washington has a short memory. That whole “curve” thing
was years ago. Meanwhile, we’ve turned our attention to other
things, like “Fast & Furious 6.” Yet quietly, the cost curve has
begun to bend.
