I mean, I don't think that this proves what you want it to, although I haven't read everything you two are arguing

it literally is saying that costs got higher when insurers changed their policies with regard to hospitals, which they explain took off when medicare and medicaid were enacted and began using the same framework as blue cross, and then increased more when medicare and medicaid lowered their reimbursement rates causing privately insured patients to eat the costs

even the private insurance market here is largely ESI which is much larger than it would be without favorable tax treatment
