I don't think the paper itself is that impressive, just cool, as other than Woodrow Wilson I don't know of any president who published something like this.
It showed "on balance," without correcting for those counting problems. I am aware of better evidence that shows there is no correlation between the Act and cost reductions. Reductions are tied to the economy, not to the Act.

Again, it appears he had some research assistant basically write it and he put his name to it, to get it published. A crappy, useless paper gets published because the President affixes his name to it.
