That's all true, but insurers are ramping up premiums faster than inflation largely because providers have raised their prices, and utilization has greatly increased due to an aging sicker population. The ACA minimum medical loss ratio means that health plans profits aren't increasing much.

But isn't it insurers actually set how much a service is going to cost you and then make "a discount" on that figure?
