at fordable care act was first and foremost designed to help extend health insurance to people who could not afford it. secondary purpose of the bill, but a very important part of that law was to reduce the explosive growth of health care spending and inflation in the health care sector. new report today by the council of economic advisers shows that the affordable care act may be doing just that, and doing it better than its strongest supporters ever imagined. health care spending growth is now the lowest ever recorded at an estimated 1.3%. inflation is at its lowest rate in 50 years, at just 1% inflation in the health care sector. this has forced the congressional budget office to reduce its projections of future medicare and medicaid spending significantly, representing about a 10% reduction in projected spending on the government's biggest health care programs. and an analysis of the affordable care act indicates that around 1.5% of people buying health insurance under the affordable care act will actually pay more than they were paying for health insurance before the affordable care

not going to stop us from doing it now i understand that you actually advocate health care as it fordable health care as a basic need for every human being of course obamacare is about that affordable health care and you know do you like the whole concept of a lot of obamacare or it's got some good points about points where it was originally intended as a grand torn down and shredded and then cut and pasted and what we have now is nothing in what you know i envision for you know health care for everybody but it's better than nothing no yeah it's better than nothing but unfortunately what you have is people businesses are actually cutting. you know the hours of employees or changing benefits or firing people totally so they don't have to pay for health care so it's actually hurting just many people as it's helping and another thing is . physically be required to have health insurance under the administration of the government telling you if you don't have insurance we're going to find you would see illegal not to have insurance that's you know take away some civil liberties as well so jeff

the fordable care act now's the time to do it not because the politics are right but because there's such a level of rank partisanship that it ruins the legislative process all together is is obamacare is the formal care act does it does it entrenched the private market or is it a step towards universal right to health care private we only have like thirty seconds left. but what is it ultimately we'll see this law is built on the existing system and if that works great and if it doesn't we're going to move towards a system in which people can get health care without going through a middle a middle man will have to see which way things go very well thank you so much for thank you know right coming up the tea party has taken over the republican party shifting the party to the far right and leaving reagan republicans even in the dust but are we seeing the political far less response now more on that next. wealthy british scientists are some time to. market why not come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global

at fordable housing problem -- the affordable housing problem has been huge and worse now than ever?so much worse. we have destabilization. in other words, back during the pataki era, they let laws go through so now, landlord if you had an affordable unit if they do a certain amount of repairs can take that apartment and put it on the market rate. for instance the building i live in when i moved in. 25 years ago there were all of us were rent stablized. there are three left. in my building i am living in. you see economic inequality tearing away at new york. >> worse now than ever. >> feeding record homelessness in new york city. tonight we have 51,000 people in homeless shelters including 21,000 kids. when somebody has, you know, an illness in their family or, they have to stay home like i did yesterday to take carry of a sick kid. they fall behind in their rent. if they lose that apartment, they're never going to be able to fight their way back into the housing market without help. >> i will come back to that in a minute. about the, the -- tand how peope have leases they're hanging

in the last 3 1/2 years since the president signed at fordable care act, we have seen a great slowdown in the extraordinary cost increases year in and year out for health care, in the medicare plan and medicaid plan and in private insurance and in underlying health care costs which affect every american. some of that is to do with some of the features that are currently in place around different care delivery and different payment systems that we are helping to draw and given the tools we have with the affordable care act. more quality outcomes, trying to prevent hospital readmissions, looking at hospital acquired infections, medical homes that prevent people in the first place or help them stay healthy in their own homes and in their own places. >> so it's true that private insurance costs are growing at the slowest rate in decades. >> that's true. >> am i also correct that the aca premiums are coming in lower than predict by experts like the cbo? >> well, they're about on average about 16% lower than was estimated that those premiums would be and that's the premium, not accounting fo

care act, that's at fordable piece, is this pool of coverage.o get the numbers we need. we believe we're going to get the numbers we need. we have a six-month open enrollment period for that reason. the numbers cited in the reports are from notes and by definition, when you have a website that isn't functioning, you're going to have problems and we've owned up to that repeatedly. nobody is more upset than my boss, the president of the united states, with the fact that the website hasn't been working well. that's why he's made sure that we have really smart people, extra eyes, extra brains on this problem working 24 hours a day to improve the user experience. when it comes to low numbers early in the enrollment stage i think we have to look at massachusetts, which under governor romney introduced health care reform plan very similar to what the president is introduced here and in their first month of enrollment only 123 people enrolled for repremi paying plans in massachusetts. they had massive enrollment toward the end of the enrollment period.

my congressional office this week after being informed by his insurer, due to changes under his fordable care act, policy is now canceled. he owns a small business that no longer qualifies for the group plan under the law's requirements. then, there's sonya from northeast, pennsylvania, -- right on the shores of lake erie. she's had the same policy for the last four years and it is being canceled. she said it's unfair she should buy more expensive insurance, not to mention, she says, it will cost much more over the long run when you factor in her new deductible. madam speaker, this is an outrage. these are just several of countless examples -- i will say endless examples of real harm being experienced by hardworking americans. my constituents, as a result of this flawed law. madam speaker, the time granted on this floor is not sufficient for me to tell you the growing concerns who are having their policies canceled and being forced to buy insurance that they can't afford, that they don't want and they don't need. those at the white house that masterminded this catastrophic attack on insu
