I think you are right. All government employees(Federal, State and local) have employer sponsored health insurance. So do most of those who work for larger companies. Obamacare would cover those who cannot afford insurance and those in the low income brackets. The potential problems are that some companies will convert some employees to part time. They will be hit with a double whammy. Getting insurance on their own will is most cases cost them more and they will have a reduced income to pay for it because they are now part time. Older folks and the disabled can get Medicare. the Indigent get Medicaid. Some of the money to pay for Obamacare is to come out of Medicare. Just how or where, I do not know.  I pay a little over $100.00 per month for Medicare and $66.33 to the University for Part D and Dental, which Medicare does not cover. My doctor and has just quit taking Medicare. I assume
this means I will have to change doctors.

Wayne,

If they are not covered under the Act, isn't it because their insurance is covered as an employment benefit? Isn't the same true for University of Idaho employees?

Or am I wrong about this?

Roger,
And this is a surprise ?
Why do you seriously think that neither the White House nor Congress is part of  "Affordable Health Care"?

A Tribune analysis shows that 21 pf the 22 lowest plans on the Illinois health exchange for Cook County would have annual deductibles of over $4,000 for individuals and $8,000 for family coverage.
People who have health insurance threw their employer have an average deductible of $1,100 according to The Kaiser Family Foundation.
 
This is from a story in the Chicago Tribune. They are not my figures.
