Looking for a good list of "dumbed down" highlights/benefits of the ACA.

Thinkprogress had a short list of economic bullet points, but I'm looking for a more complete list of all benefits.

Something I can post to facebook.

http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/06/28/505510/four-reasons-why-the-courts-decision-to-uphold-obamacare-is-good-news-for-the-economy/

1) Obamacare will reduce the deficit.

2) Health care costs for young Americans won’t skyrocket.

3) Millions of jobs will be created.

4) It will be cheaper for employers to provide health care.

Links to facts and/or CBO scoring would help.
