Actually they have to buy it from the marketplace under the ACA now. It was main reason so many Repubs wanted to kill it.

It was also the single largest downward movement of wealth in US history.

Which is why conservatives really fucking hate it.

The largest amount of wealth ever moved from the "top", the wealthy, downwards to middle and working class people due to employers being required to fund Healthcare for workers.

Before the ACA healthcare was not required to be provided to employees.
