"Kill the law or strip the mandate, and within not all that many years, there will be an ever-shrinking customer base for them."

...ever heard of Medigap: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002500237

A Medigap policy is health insurance sold by private insurance companies to fill the "gaps" in Original Medicare Plan coverage. Medigap policies help pay some of the health care costs that the Original Medicare Plan doesn't cover. If you are in the Original Medicare Plan and have a Medigap policy, then Medicare and your Medigap policy will each pay its share of covered health care costs.

Also, kill the law and millions of low-income Americans will no longer be eligible for Medicaid: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002496395

Kill it and the ban on dropping people because of pre-existing conditions is also killed.

Kill it and women lose out: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002497407
