ACA health insurance will cost the average person 75% more next year

Does “ACA health insurance” classification used here include everyone who buys insurance on their own who are not employed by a large-enough company or on Medicare/medicaid?

The job-based insurance system in USA is so bogus.

Yep the biggest problem with the ACA was that it doubled down on health insurance as a benefit of employment, when it should have taken steps to transition everyone off of employer provided plans.

It would be a political disaster to transition people off their employer plans.

The short term effect would be an increase in costs but no increase in pay for most people.

With a small tweak it would have the opposite effect. Just mandate that employers must add what they previously paid in health insurance to people's salary. So it would look like significant pay raises to a substantial portion of the populace. I bet that would be popular.
