If the statute is allowed to remain as originally written the US will have single payer government health care. That is what the insurance companies want. The only question will be is whether and under what circumstances that private plans may be purchased.
This was the intent of the law to begin with. It was written to be unaffordable and to force a shift to government payer health plans. I am not sure why insurance companies embraced the law unless they thought premiums collected under the mandate would outpace claims paid.
You can also be certain that alternatives to insurance such as health savings plans or stand alone catastrophic coverage will be challenged or scrapped altogether if Democrats take control of the White House and Senate. Another fate should the law be allowed to stand is that religious conscience in matters of providing insurance will no longer be permitted.

Roberts is NOT going to repeal Obamacare! He doesn't want the Supreme Court to overturn such a controversial Law!
When we get Amy Coney Barrett on The Court, the GOP should have a whisper campaign to scare the hell out of Roberts, if he doesn't repeal Obamacare The GOP will try to replace him with Merrick Garland if Democrats agree

The Dems want their Obamacare to survive, which depends on RBG continuing to breathe so the SCOTUS does not change.

The point of intersecting dollars taken out of a paycheck crossed the line of employee contribution to health insurance premiums v. Federal withholding tax, it was be certain that the federal government would be getting into the healthcare business.
Nothing will stop that.

Put the entire federal bureaucracy onto a silver Obamacare plan. It will die quickly.

Outlawing preexisting conditions remains in effect and continues to send premiums through the roof. Trump and the Supreme Court wont do anything about that. Obama screwed us royally.

Defenders of the Affordable Care Act argued that the issues raised by the case are too important to let the litigation drag on for months or years
why, are we anticipating another appointment soon?

“The Supreme Court agreed to...” Brought about by third party bundled “insurance” companies.

Because allowing a pre-existing conditions ban polls in the single digits. It's a political nonstarter and Trump knows it.
I put that in my pile of bad ideas which are inevitable. They're inevitable because, like it or not, a majority of the electorate wants them.
