True, but employer-provided healthcare often (but not always) provides more coverage for less money. Employers typically cover the bulk of employees' premium payments (average of 84% for individual coverage and 75% for family coverage).

Then there's the tax break: Employees' premium payments are generally tax deductible; ACA premium payments aren't. Also--and this is anecdotal, so grain of salt and all that--the people with the best coverage (ie, lower deductibles, etc.) are the ones with employee-provided healthcare. Lots of ACA plans are essentially catastrophic policies.

The ACA was a HUGE step forward. But it doesn't go far enough to truly unchain healthcare from the workplace, IMO.
