READING the article, learned author Kevin Drum was writing about Ezra Klein's article posted at Washington Post.

Health cost report graphs came from International Federation of Health Plans ("group of health insurance industry leaders, now the leading global network of the industry, with one hundred member companies in 25 countries") provided by federations's current President George Halvorson Chairman and CEO of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan.

Who better to report such data than an international federation of health plans?
