What 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]
