Well, 20,000,000 people were added supposedly. Most of them on Medicaid or heavily subsidized. The number of young people was grossly overestimated because the penalty was trivial compared to the cost of insurance.
So, the new insured are overwhelmingly subsidized since they could not afford insurance to begin with being the whole idea.
What the rich put in to payroll taxes is insignificant since their wealth is not income until they sell it, and even then it is not subject to payroll taxes.
So, where is it coming from.
The insurance companies ? No
Young healthy people buying insurance ? No
"The Rich" ? No.
Cost reduction ? That's comical.
The middle class paying much more for healthcare ? Yes
