There will be too big of a hit on insurance companies.

Medigap is for the 20% not covered by medicare, so of course they cannot charge as much in premiums, and since many times by the time a senior gets into serious medical need, it's for an acute illness that ends up ending that life (and the need for further coverage).

Parents who are protecting their families are the ones insurance companies target, since they have that customer for a few decades....but if the bosses no longer offer coverage, or the customer just cannot afford it, they have no customer base left...or a shrinking one at best.
