The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of ACA benchmark Silver plan premiums in Florida from 2014 to 2025 is about 6.9% per year.
The average ACA Silver plan premium has inflated at ~5.7% CAGR since 2014, significantly outpacing general inflation and employer health plan costs. This underscores why subsidies are critical: without them, affordability would erode quickly.

As I mentioned Trump has taken specific measures to reduce egg and gas prices. So Presidential policies do matter, along with the monetary policies of the Fed.
I guess Trump could offer incentives to counties and builders to build affordable housing like townhomes with at least 1 car garages.
It was the Fed who slowed down inflation by jacking up rates.

Although I hate to throw cold water on good news, that $2000 per person free money from the US Treasury (income limits apply) will probably be inflationary.
Oh well, I don't care; inflation will be caused by people buying shit and my stocks will go up (e.g. AAPL) as people line up at the Apple Store.
Further off the subject, I'm absolutely loving my MacBook Air for $800; it's "insanely great."

Inflation dropped more sharply than economists predicted in November, giving U.S. consumers long-awaited relief and bolstering President Donald Trump’s argument that the price surge that began under the previous administration has finally been reversed.
The Department of Labor reported Wednesday that the consumer price index rose 2.7 percent year-over-year.
The figure is down from three percent in September and well below the 3.1 percent economists expected.

Frankly, I prefer my spaceship to have big tits and not fake inflated ones.
EDIT - numbers drop:
America goes back to the 80s: Surging gas prices and higher rents push inflation to 41-year high of 8.5% as White House blames it on Putin invading Ukraine
The consumer price index rose 8.5% in March from a year ago, the fastest increase since December 1981
Housing costs, which make up about a third of the index, have escalated and show no signs of cooling
Gasoline prices soared 49% in March from a year ago as the war in Ukraine rocked energy markets
Biden's administration tried to get ahead of the dire inflation news by blaming Russian leader Vladimir Putin
But Republicans place the blame for soaring prices on 'Democrats' reckless spending and failed policies'
