He made that "promise" on the campaign trail and the bill that was passed


was not what he was pushing for then. The study he made those comments based on actually predicted overall out of pocket costs would go down that much, and Obama said premiums instead a few times, confusing the matter. the study also said those reductions would be compared to what health care insurance costs would become without the ACA, and Obama did not make that clear at all.

But they point is that the bill that was passed was not what he originally was talking about.

the attached analysis shows that the ACA was working to reduce HCI costs....until the lack of healthy new enrollees, the roll back by Congress of built in temprorary financial support for the exchanges until the pool was right, and the uncertainty as to what Congress would do about the ACA, caused insurance companies to raise rates and/or exit the exchanges
