Politifact called BS on that one too.

From your post:

(H)ere's how the CBO projected the effect of the Senate Democrats' plan on insurance premiums:

• For those in the large group market, 0 to 3 percent lower (with average family premiums going from $20,300 in 2016 under current law to $20,100 under the Reid plan)

• For those in the small group market, anywhere from a 1 percent increase to a 2 percent decrease (with average family premiums going from $19,300 in 2016 under current law to $19,200 under the Reid plan)

• For those in the nongroup market, an increase of 10 to 13 percent (with average family premiums going from $13,100 in 2016 under current law to $15,200 under the Reid plan)

So according to the CBO, the vast majority of working families -- who get their insurance through their employer -- would see a slight decrease in premiums. But only in the neighborhood of $100 to $200 a year, nowhere near $2,500 a year.

So, it seems that most people will get better coverage for $100 - $200 less. WTF is wrong with that? I think the only thing really wrong with the ACA is that a Democrat succeeded in passing it on a national basis.
