Since the mandate is dead, that’s not the truth any more. I suspect what is going to happen is that health care costs will come down as the environment gets more capitalistic and competitive.

Except we still have this legal requirement that health insurance plans have to accept pre-existing conditions. That's not insurance.

Yep. More and more healthy people will simply leave the plans, forcing costs to skyrocket to the point that only those with pre-existing conditions can afford it. It then becomes like dental insurance, which basically just divides the cost of your visits into monthly payments.

And health care costs, themselves, will be forced down accordingly. It will become a commodity where most of your doctors are immigrants.

I’ve noticed here in Kentucky an explosion of small, brand new health clinics being built.
