Well, RNC chairman Reince Priebus just lost the actuary vote:
Priebus boldly predicted a Republican “tsunami” in the 2014 midterm elections at a Christian Science Monitor event on Tuesday, but his remarks aimed at actuaries went largely unnoticed.
“ObamaCare was intentionally designed to screw young people over,” he said. “I mean, actuaries sat down in a room and figured out how they were going to pay for this monstrosity of a program, and they decided, let’s just screw over everyone who is 35 or younger. And that’s what they did.”
The American Academy of Actuaries (AAA) shot back late Wednesday in a statement saying the chairman’s allegations were nothing more than “political rhetoric meant to elicit attention.”
“The characterization of actuaries in those remarks cannot be taken seriously,” the group said.
Add them to the list of people (professors, minorities, women, gays…) who are alienated by Republican rhetoric.
