You are both correct and totally wrong at the same time. You don’t have to buy your insurance through the marketplace if you don’t qualify for free or subsidized
Health insurance. That being said, the premiums for everyone not getting insurance through an employer are all dictated by the “affordable care act marketplace”, regardless of where you purchase the insurance. So where you actually purchase the insurance is simply a matter of semantics. The pricing for those who pay the full price for insurance got jammed down everyone’s throat to help pay for free and subsidized insurance.
