Health care costs have been growing at a historically low rate but are poised to increase again starting this year, according to a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services report out today.
Though growth over the next nine years is likely to be lower than it was from the 1990s through most of the 2000s, it will average 6% from 2015 to 2023, up from the 5.8% CMS predicted last year.
That's below the 7.2% increase in health care spending from 1990 through 2008.
The growth in health spending for 2013 is estimated to have slowed to 3.6%, but the rate will rise to 5.6% for 2014, the report says.
The leading contributors to the increased growth are more people being covered through the Affordable Care Act, expected economic growth and the aging population, CMS says. Some of the impact on the older populations is tempered by the fact that Baby Boomers are healthier than many other new enrollees in Medicare as most are coming from private insurance, the study says.
Since the 2007-08 recession, economic recovery has been weaker than anticipated, which has tamped down the rate of health care spending.
Every year, CMS releases an analysis of how Americans are likely to spend their health care dollars in the coming decade.
Sean Keehan, a study co-author, says increasingly high health care cost-sharing by consumers helps to slow growth. When people, rather than their insurers and employers, pay more out of pocket for their health care, they simply choose to have fewer procedures.
CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner says the report shows "health care costs are increasing at a slower rate thanks to the Affordable Care Act."
The number of uninsured is likely to decline by nearly half from 45 million in 2012 to 23 million by 2023 as a result of the coverage expansions associated with the Affordable Care Act, the CMS report says.

WASHINGTON (AP) The nation's respite from troublesome health care inflation is ending, the government said Wednesday in a report that renews a crucial budget challenge for lawmakers, taxpayers, businesses and patients.
Economic recovery, an aging society, and more people insured under the new health care law are driving the long-term trend.
Projections by nonpartisan experts with the Health and Human Services department indicate the pace of health care spending will pick up starting this year and beyond. The introduction of expensive new drugs for the liver-wasting disease hepatitis C also contributes to the speed-up in the short run.
The report from the Office of the Actuary projects that spending will grow by an average of 6 percent a year from 2015-2023. That's a notable acceleration after five consecutive years, through 2013, of annual growth below 4 percent.
Although the coming bout of health-cost inflation is not expected to be as aggressive as in the 1980s and 1990s, it will still pose a dilemma for President Barack Obama's successor. Long term, much of the growth comes from Medicare and Medicaid, two giant government programs now covering more than 100 million people.
The United States is expected to spend more than $3 trillion on health care this year, far above any other economically advanced country. Yet Americans are not appreciably healthier, and much what they spend appears to go for tests and treatments of questionable value. Fraud also siphons off tens of billions of dollars a year.
Because health care spending is so high, shifts of a couple of percentage points have significant economic consequences. Health care inflation has recently been in line with overall economic growth, keeping things manageable.
As spending rebounds, health care again will start consuming a growing share of the economic pie, crowding out other worthy priorities. From 17.2 percent of the economy in 2012, health care is expected to grow to a 19.3 percent share by 2023, the report said.
"The period in which health care has accounted for a stable share of economic output is expected to end in 2014, primarily because of the (health care law's) coverage expansions," it concluded.
Yet if Obama's Affordable Care Act is an immediate trigger for rising costs, the analysts who produced the report said it is not the only factor. It's probably not the most important one when placed next to a recovering economy and an aging population. Traditionally, the state of the economy has been the strongest driver of health care spending.

Republican operatives believe they have found a smoking gun against Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Udall, who said during a 2008 debate he was against a "government-sponsored" solution for health care.
The then-congressman, who was running for an open seat in the U.S. Senate, echoed arguments made by conservatives.
"I'm not for a government-sponsored solution," Udall said. "I'm for enhancing and improving the employer-based system that we have."
In a debate overshadowed by other issues rising energy prices and the war on terror Udall's answer that July barely created a ripple. But in the context of Sen. Udall's vote for the Affordable Care Act in 2010 and his tough re-election bid against Republican Congressman Cory Gardner in November, the statement takes on new meaning.
Udall's vote for the health care law has provided fodder for a number of campaign attack ads.
"Mark Udall was elected on a lie," Gardner said. "Mark Udall promised he would not support a government-sponsored solution and he broke that promise and voted for Obamacare."
Udall's campaign says if Republicans believe they have found a smoking gun, they're simply shooting themselves in the foot because Obamacare is not government-run health care.
"They are grasping at straws," Udall spokeswoman Kristin Lynch said.
The influential PolitiFact bolsters Udall's argument. The Pulitzer Prize winning independent fact-checking website awarded its 2010 Lie of the Year to the claim that the Democratic law amounted to a "government takeover of health care."
" 'Government takeover' conjures a European approach where the government owns the hospitals and the doctors are public employees. But the law Congress passed ... relies largely on the free market," PolitiFact concluded.

Health care spending to grow slower
National spending on health care will continue to surge in coming years, but at a slower rate than the previous two decades, according to new government analysis of the nation's $3 trillion health care tab. The Department of Health and Human Services report suggests that changes under way in medical care and insurance coverage may help rein in the notoriously high-cost system, even as millions of Americans gain insurance through the federal health law. But the slowing still may not make health care affordable, as medical spending is projected to outpace economic growth in the next decade, the report suggests.

13 hurt in chemical mishap at museum
Authorities said 13 people, most of them children, were injured Wednesday when a demonstration about the science of tornadoes went awry at a museum in downtown Reno. Officials said eight children and one adult were treated at a hospital for minor burns and minor smoke inhalation. Four others were treated at the scene. Officials say a chemical flash, "similar to if someone threw gasoline on a fire," apparently occurred during a routine demonstration at the Terry Lee Wells Discovery Museum to create a whirling tornado effect.

VA rules may open door to benefits
Thousands of Vietnam-era veterans barred from receiving benefits because of less-than-honorable discharges may be eligible for upgrades under a new set of guidelines released by the Defense Department on Wednesday. The new rules offer the first guidance to military discharge review boards on how to address post-traumatic stress disorder. Many experts and veterans' advocates assert that the disorder may have contributed to misconduct by veterans who were later kicked out of the military and stripped of benefits.
