Health Spending Growth Slowed to 4.9% in December, Still 5.9% for 2015 Overall
Altarum Institute 
Feb. 16, 2016
"Preliminary estimates show health spending grew only 4.9% in December 2015 compared to December 2014, continuing a steady decline from a peak of 6.8% in February 2015. Spending on hospitals and prescription drugs, each of which is growing at less than half the rate observed in February, led the decline.... Health care prices in December 2015 were 1.2% higher than in December 2014, up from 1.1% in November, exhibiting an upward trend from its all-time low [growth] rate of 0.9% in September 2015."
