Obama certainly criticized the individual mandate that Clinton proposed, but I can't find anywhere where he said that he opposed the idea of a mandate categorically or where he pledged not to impose one. He said that he wanted to make health insurance cheaper for families (which ACA does) and he didn't want to fine people who couldn't afford health insurance for not having health insurance (which ACA does not). Obama's position on mandates certainly shifted, but I wouldn't say that it flipped.

Please point out where ACA reduces the cost of health insurance for families.

You can't find anything that will show ObamaTax lowering anyone's insurance costs. If you could, you would. And if you really think that the healthcare system in Massachusetts is great, then you should be supporting Mitt Romney. It would seem that what you consider to be one of Obama's great achievements is to copy someone else. And I'll go read something when you learn the English language.
Romneycare a great success, none of the PUB doom and gloom.
Frontline said cost rises are now 2%, easily the lowest in the USA. So change the channel...
"For this reason he also provided for subsidies for individuals living below three times the federal poverty line to make insurance affordable. This three-legged stoolbanning discrimination in insurance markets, mandating that individuals purchase insurance, and providing low-income subsidies for insurance purchasebecame the basis for both our reform in Massachusetts and for the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
The enormous success of health-care reform in the almost six years since its passage in Massachusetts can make us more confident that this three-legged stool will work for the nation as a whole. We have covered about two-thirds of uninsured Massachusetts residents, and have lowered the premiums in the non-group market by half relative to national premium trends. And we have done so with broad public support. Moreover, this reform succeeded without interfering with the employer-sponsored insurance market that works for most of our residents: employer-sponsored insurance coverage has actually risen in Massachusetts, while falling sharply nationally, and the premiums for employer-sponsored insurance rose no faster in Massachusetts than they did nationally.This was all possible because the individual mandate ended the death spiral of trying to obtain fairly priced insurance by just forcing insurers to charge everyone the same price. The bottom line is that we cant have fairly priced insurance for the healthy and sick alike without the broad participation that is guaranteed by the mandate. The mandate is the spinach we have to eat to get the dessert that is fairly priced insurance coverage.
