6. I get confused on this point

The way I understand it, wouldn't there still be a federal exchange in place for them to purchase insurance? For people under 133% the FPL they would pay $288 annually for insurance, if they make under 100% FPL they'd pay $217 a year. In other words they'd still have health insurance just not through Medicaid. Do I have this right or am I off? Unless copays and other charges are outrageous if you're in the federal exchange this still strikes me as a pretty good deal and a HUGE improvement from where we are today.
