Classic, is the word "control" the right word.
There have been many changes that affect the patient's costs,
such as the requirements for free preventative care, free vaccines, mammagrams, etc.
along with the soon-to-be-in-effect reductions in medicare costs.
That is, the ACA doesn't specifiy a maximum price on things
(which soon would become the minimum price), but instead
pushes management to implement changes that reduce costs.
Do such as these meet the definition of cost controls ?
