> ACA is 0.10 an hour. If the worker works long enough s/he apply for Medicare. If you want you can offer additional benefits. This is obviously not true for full time employees.

Again, I don't think this is true, at least not from an employer's perspective. The prices I am familiar with are about the same through an affordable care act exchange, and the (monthly) prices are the same for hourly and exempt employees.

I... know very little about medicare, but I was under the impression that you had to be very poor to qualify, and that it didn't have a lot to do with how much you worked. It's possible that there's a government program for the poor that will give you health insurance for $0.10 an hour, but as far as I know, that's not something available to employers.
