Thanks, Yankee. Yes, that is how both Medicare and Medicaid work IRL: you are assigned to a plan and they pay for health services through those.

I think some of the confusion is that people tend to treat Atlascare by itself as the whole thing and not the public option/GSE component that it actually is. Its kind of like a part of the bill has come to be used as an umbrella term for the whole system, not unlike for instance "the reset" has come to be a general term for the whole reform in 2016 (legislative reset, regional consolidation, bicameralism etc) and not just the "legislative reset" component that such referred to originally.
