The thing is, Obamacare doesn't constitute price controls--it simply sets up a market. Insurance companies have been negotiating with hospitals in the free market established by Obamacare. Some are making deals with elite hospitals and others aren't. According to your source,

Regulations driven by the Obama White House have indeed made insurance more affordable.

This post is evidence of Obamacare doing exactly what it was intended to do--keeping healthcare costs under control by fostering competition.
It’s relatively easy to agree that only Homo sapiens can speak about things that don’t really exist, and believe six impossible things before breakfast. You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.
