White House flack Dan Pfeiffer is super-excited, you guys. Because look at all the money Obamacare has saved American families:
FACT: Thanks to #Obamacare, 8.5 million Americans received an average refund of $100 per family from their insurers. http://t.co/8ZHQuzKq4s

The White House is pumped, too:

Wow! A whole $100! Never mind that millions of Americans have already had their policies canceled. And the number will be way higher than 8.5 million when all is said and done.
@pfeiffer44 6Mil and counting have lost their plans and many more the quality healthcare they were able to choose before this debacle. #Lie

Which brings us to this:
FACT: Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, nearly 80 million Americans saved $3.4 billion on their premiums in 2012. #Obamacare

That works out to a whopping $42.50 in savings per person. But those lucky folks will only have a short time to celebrate their Obamacare windfall. Some experts believe that close to 80 million Americans with employer-provided health care plans could lose their coverage. And that’s on top of those who have already lost their individual coverage.
