CPA is ~meaningless when the 'acquisition' is mandated by law. It's not like there is any competitive "choice" here. this is simply y taxes spent divided by x people impacted by the law (who have complied). This is basically asking what is the "cost of user aquisition" for an IRS audit. [edit: CPA reference was deleted by mods> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7716613 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7716613 . NB: The "cost of signing up an enrollee" is logically consistent with the context; whereas "user acquisition cost" is really out of place in the context of compelled behaviour (ie, individual mandate).]
