The insurance exchanges setups (private companies providing the insurance) are meant to provide direct, purely capitalistic competition between companies for one's business that will lower prices for all.
People with insurance offers through work will not be eligible for the exchanges, they have to purchase from work. The ACA is trying to insure those
without insurance options, left adrift by our current healthcare insurance system. Not those who can get insurance.
Except these employees will not be forced to get the insurance available to them, because the Republicans demanded that all these small businesses be excluded.
It is repeatedly distressing to have people discussing the value of the ACA, and passing judgment upon it, when the factual provisions of the ACA are clearly not known to them. Those provisions are readily available, and have been since the law was passed, on the internet in easily-understandable bullet point websites geared to familiarizing people with the truth - not the GOP screaming August health care town hall ads and lies about government takeover of health care - of what the ACA actually contains.

Or you could do it the way the ACA is set up. The ACA is attempting to get the currrently uninsured, insured. By private insurance companies. Not "the government". It doesn't change anything for those with insurance (other than the existence of the exchanges should make an employers choice for purchasing health insurance for their employees less expensive with greater competitive options)
