I do have facts. You should read what you reference. From your referenced article...

Some tax and fee provisions are directed toward individual consumers, but most are directed toward insurers, employers, and certain manufacturers.

and...

Approximately one-fourth of revenue ($374 billion) will come from new taxes and fees remitted by individual consumers, but only for specific groups or circumstances. For example, the Excise Tax on Tanning Services is levied only on those who obtain tanning services at tanning facilities (excluding phototherapy administered by a medical professional) while the Additional Hospital Insurance Tax increase only affects individuals whose annual adjusted gross income exceeds $200,000 ($250,000 for a married couple).

This is hardly all of the unsubsidized insureds, in fact it's only a minuscule percent of them. Maybe you and Boner need to cut back on the tanning salons. Boo Hoo!

"increase in federal budget deficits of $109 billion" .. yeah, for a supposedly deficit minded House .. note the increase in the Federal deficit which the CBO estimated would be the result if that House repeal Obamacare attempt had been successful ..

Impact on the Federal Budget in the First Decade

Assuming that H.R. 6079 is enacted near the beginning of fiscal year 2013, CBO and JCT estimate that, on balance, the direct spending and revenue effects of enacting that legislation would cause a net increase in federal budget deficits of $109 billion over the 2013–2022 period (see Table 1).
