Moving money from one pocket to another pocket: those with employer paid/partially paid insurance, would not be paying premiums for private baseline insurance, nor would their employer.

It's not moving money from one pocket to the other. You need more money. The money has to cover: i) all the people who were previously uninsured; ii) all the people who were previously underinsured; and iii) all the people who previously had plans that were less than the Cadillac plan. And a big segment of the workforce pays substantially less for their health care coverage than the majority - unionized and public sector plans are typically far more generous and have lower employee contributions than the typical plan.

The money doesn't work out for too many people.
