Didn't the ACA provide blunting of rising insurance prices for the first time in ten years?

Your chart shows two red bars of roughly equal height between 10 and 11, suggesting "yup" (for employer insurance).

It also shows red bars of roughly equal height for 07, 08 and 09 so your thesis of it being the only time it blunted the rise in ten years is... questionable. What blunted it in those years? It wasn't the ACA.

As far as slowing the growth of health care costs the ACA was a total failure. I'd be interested in more data and more recent data but I'm phone posting right now, I'll try to pull some more when I get the chance.
