Sounds great to me.

This can backfire in the short term. Namely, a Republican wins in 2016 and is re-elected. That would decimate ObamaCare and leave Obama with a much weaker legacy. He still can have the rhetoric but not quite a full bodied legacy as he had hoped.
I can see a Republican government basically shredding key parts of the ACA and doing a tax cut. A Republican President would also be rolling back whatever Obama executive orders he could, left, right, and center. Especially on the EPA and environment.
The Democrats very much want to avoid this. But it's very plausible this will happen.
