Health spending was growing at an average of 7.2% / year from 1990-2008, vs an estimated 3.6% in 2013. Certainly the slowdown is the result of more than just the ACA, but this is the relevant metric one should use when measuring its success at cost containment, not the fact that almost everything gets more expensive from one year to the next.
