The 2010 law does generate both savings and revenue. But much of that money will flow into the Medicare hospitalization trust fund — and, under law, the money must be used to pay years of additional benefits to those who are already insured. That means those savings would not be available to pay for expanding coverage for the uninsured.​

You skipped out on the - 'So says a Republican'. Sorry but a neutral party such as the CBO is more trustworthy.

Yet they are double counting money flowing into Medicare Hospitalization Trust Fund and money going to uninsured. Whyzzat? If you remember, CBO had a face to face meeting with Obama a year ago where Obama let him know his displeasure on how it was reporting unflattering results of his budget/programs.
