Those dam actuaries question the Affordability label. States may have to run for the exit.

I just read this story a little while ago too. I'm finally taking a new view on it and am just going to enjoy watching this disaster wreak havoc and ultimately become about as popular as the eighteenth amendment.

From the Huffington article:

"Actuaries use statistics and economic theory to make long-range cost projections for insurance and pension programs sponsored by businesses and government. The society is headquartered near Chicago.

Kristi Bohn, an actuary who worked on the study, acknowledged it did not attempt to estimate the effect of subsidies, insurer competition and other factors that could mitigate cost increases. She said the goal was to look at the underlying cost of medical care."

At least there is some honesty here, not that I am in agreement with many aspects of the ACA.
