The US inflation is expected to be impacted by a change in how the government estimates health insurance costs. This change is anticipated to reverse a trend that had been providing some relief in recent months, potentially giving a slight boost to a popular US inflation measure. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is overhauling its metrics for health insurance in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is likely to result in an increase in the inflation measure.
