    Actuarial Value.

    The whole heath care reform thing got me wanting a little more information on what "Actuarial Value" really means.  Generally, it's the percentage of medical expenses that the one can expect their policy to cover. But honestly, WTF does that mean exactly?

    Anyhow. After a bit of poking around I came across a really helpful rundown(.pdf) on just this subject produced earlier this month by Consumers Union (the folks who publish Consumer Reports) through their "prescriptionforchange.org" web site. The report is 5 pages and written in a very accessible fashion with several interesting tables.

    There's no real point to be made here, just figured it's a reasonably important topic and others might find the resource helpful as well. Well worth a quick read.
