That myth was debunked back when Romney was screeching it on the campaign trail.

These are numbers straight from the CBO.

In February, the Congressional Budget Office said that 7 million will likely lose their employer coverage thanks to ObamaCare — nearly twice its previous estimate. That number could be as high as 20 million, the CBO says.

The CBO estimate did NOT say that 7-20 million people would lose their employer coverage. The CBO estimate did say that 7 million people would choose to opt out of employer-offered coverage in favor of insurance from health insurance exchanges or other sources and, though unlikely, up to 20 million could make that same choice.

Are they richer or poorer for it?

I think it will motivate people to make wiser choices about their health insurance and actively look for the best deal instead of just doing nothing and allowing themselves to be automatically enrolled in a plan which may not be beneficial for them (as many people do). Whether "they", whoever "they" are, are richer or poorer for it is up to them.
