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.

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

LOL! Why would insurance companies want something that would put them out of business!
