Maybe someone on this board can clarify, but that was my understanding. If you are a minimum wage employee, and your employer drops health coverage, you are not going to be able to afford to buy your own insurance. It was my understanding that the 8% payed for those people to be in the government plan.

Low-income employees whose employers do not provide insurance will be eligible for subsidies, but they can use it to buy whichever insurance they want and can afford.
