I'm reminded of when HMO's were all the rage. They were going to keep costs down too. Initially, there were some savings, but in the end the rate of inflation in health care continued.

3.5% is probably in essence a "one time" savings, in that this system will consistently cost about 3% less than more traditional fee for service. But it's rate of inflation will probably be the same, which is currently projected at 5 - 7%.

I will say this, whether it saves money or not, I'd betcha it is a heck of a lot better care, which if we're going to be paying this much, at least it should be GOOD care.
