Study: Premiums could rise 25 percent without insurance mandate
Insurance premiums would rise by as much as 25 percent if the healthcare law is implemented without an individual mandate, according to a new analysis from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
The Supreme Court will decide this summer whether the coverage mandate is constitutional, and how much — if any — of the health law’s other provisions can remain intact if the coverage requirement falls.
Without the mandate, according to the Robert Wood Johnson analysis, costs would rise and fewer people would be insured.
