Exchanges get set up.
The ACA phases out the tax benefits for companies to provide health insurance. So gradually more and more people will end up on the exchanges.
More people on the exchanges provides cover for creating the public option in the exchanges. Especially when the private insurance companies abuse the system (and they will).
Since the public option is non-profit, it should be cheaper than the insurance companies. That will cause lots of people to choose it.
Those people won't die any more frequently than the people covered by private insurance, which will get rid of the irrational fear.
