This boast by the Obama administration is narrowly true about prices but a lie for workers. The deductible that employees face before their health coverage kicks in has gone up and will continue to go up. Workers pay more for health care or they do not get care they need because of the rising deductible. From the Kaiser Family Foundation on the general average deductible: "The 2015 value is 67% higher than the average general annual deductible of 2010." p. 118, http://files.kff.org/attachment/report-2015-employer-health-benefits-survey
