There's a bunch of what I was talking about in the article here: http://mediatrackers.org/national/2013/10/01/8-charts-explain-explosive-growth-u-s-health-care-costs

Thanks for the link, though I feel I have to point out that mediatrackers was a blog founded by a tea party guy and its primary purpose seems to be to axe grind about democrats and "leftists".

The link specifically, is an opinion piece written by Sean Davis, who founded a similar (though less axe-grindy from what I can tell) website called "The Federalist".

While I'm not going to pick apart the data presented, I do take issue with the way the opinion piece is structured in general. The narrative he is presenting certainly "sounds" reasonable, but he offers no cause and effect justification for what he's saying. It reads largely as a narrative written to push an agenda, which is common on sites like this.
