That is totally wrong.  The "Cadillac Tax" and the young people paying for the first time were to make up the bulk of the funding.  Do you  know what the expected revenues were from the "rich people's" tax?  They even kept the excise tax of 3.4% on "medical devices" which was suppose to raise even more than the "rich people's" tax.   Obamacare was a system of taxation to pay for a rather expensive social program.  The ACA is simply giving a huge new benefit to poor people that now has no funding sources.  The result is simply a deficit that has been building for 7 years.  The Democrats refuse to implement the "Cadillac Tax" that was to pay for most of the ACA's expenses.  Blame the unions for protecting their members from a 40% tax on their healthcare insurance?  The President is correct that if left alone, Obamacare will fail in the next two years.  When it does fail, the guarantees written in the law for the insurance companies kick in. Who pays under the ACA? All of us.  Billions$$$
