It isn't a very profound paper, but basically a speech which says, "hey, the PPAFA increased the number of insureds." Most of us could write it, if we had research assistants to compile a few numbers and prepare a few graphs.

The paper ignores the other proposed "objectives" of the PPAFA, basically to reduce costs and to promote quality. Most research shows it hasn't achieved that. IOW, the paper is garbage, IMHO. He also doesn't address some of the counting issues, such as counting people, who lost insurance due to the Act as being newly insured when they had insurance previously that was canceled because of the Act.
