The Society of Actuaries (SOA) supports the role of actuaries in emerging topics in health care. These topics include long-term cost trends, the Affordable Care Act, cost predictability and the cost of the newly insured.
Actuaries help provide clarity on risks and insurance-related information that impact health care. The SOA conducts many health care research projects, including:
