thisfinecrewWhat the ACA Does for People Insured Through Their Employer.
Because it doesn't just affect people who buy their insurance through the exchanges.
"People who get insurance through their employers – an estimated 150 million Americans – may also lose consumer protections they have come to expect from their job-based plans." [emphasis mine]
That's 46% of the US population! (150 million of about 325 million, if my sources are right).
Add in the 20 million who bought through the exchanges, and you're talking more than 50% of the US population.
