If the Supreme Court throws out the individual mandate but keeps the rest of the healthcare law, uninsured people could either join an expanded Medicaid program or receive government subsidies to help pay for private insurance. That would leave insurance companies having to insure everyone who applies, regardless of pre-existing conditions, which may drive up health insurance premiums.
