Not all plans. I've been on a PPO pretty much forever, before and after ACA. The deductibles have always gone up, as have the costs; but it's always been an option at every company I've worked for.

Well, you're still an employee right?
You're not the guy actually footing the majority of the bill, so it doesn't really matter as much to you, right?
BUT, if you own a small tire shop and some guy just tripled your healthcare costs, well....he might have a different opinion.
The full bill for insurance (minus savings for being part of a larger group) is coming out of my paycheck and profit shares, one way or the other.

I have a few friends and family who can get insurance due to ACA, so no, I wouldn't. I don't fall in that group (thankfully), but I'm more than happy to pay the costs so they can not go bankrupt or have to play the emergency room shuffle.
Hell, we'll all be there someday. It's the unicorn individual who is never sick throughout their life until they simply drop dead.
