The mandates increased the amount of money available to pay for the care that came up for everyone, including people who hadn't been to the doctor in years and came in to the system with significant health problems.

When the mandate goes, so does that funding. Insurance companies will skyrocket their rates to compensate, people will drop out and start going to the ER again for all of their care, and YOU, my friend will pay dearly for all that.
