The handicappers say the strongest chance is of the individual mandate being overturned and everything else staying the same:
"What is more likely, he says, is that justices will strike down the individual mandate requiring everyone to buy insurance, which he calculates as having a 60% to 70% chance of occurring. If only that part of the bill is struck down, it will put pressure on insurers, who still will be forced to offer coverage to everyone."
A lot of different outcomes may still happen. But I'm going to bet it won't be good for health insurers. If nothing else, changes to the law will create a cloud of uncertainty that discourages buyers.
