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.

Paper showed the proportion of people uninsured has been reduced drastically, on balance.
It did show the ACA reduced costs.
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.
