Now do we expect those part timers or even low wage full timers to contribute $150 to $400 per month(depending on state) so the ACA can work & fix the old & sick people?

Yes. Thats the grand plan. That's why companies are being pushed to offer plans for everybody. If not, individuals are to buy their own plan or pay a penalty.

It's a bad way to solve the problem. It was an admirable idea way back when it was being discussed, but then the insurance lobbyists coughed up enough coin to get the law written in such a way as to force people to buy their product. Medical costs are out of control, and something has to be done. The ACA is so far from that solution it's not even funny.
