"I'm sorry, I have to ask - Did not Obama say premiums would go down $2500 for the typical family?

That was said frequently, by Obama and others, wasn't it?"

...indicates that it's a lot lower for most people.

<...>

So, taken together, what have we learned of late?

ACA enrollment through exchanges reached 7.1 million, ahead of early estimates.
The ACA is quickly reducing the uninsured rate.
Thanks in part to the ACA, health care spending has slowed dramatically and health care inflation is at its lowest point in 50 years.
According to the Department of Commerce, the ACA is also having a positive effect on personal incomes.
And according to the CBO, the system is even more affordable than perviously projected.
