Insurance cost savings come from their coverage networks and expanding one network to cover multiple states doesn't make much sense.Obama had to be sold on the mandate himself. He used to believe that if the product was cheap enough and worthwhile young people would buy it voluntarily. The insurance companies wanted the mandate in exchange for covering pre-existing conditions. The mandate penalties weren't very steep anyway so it likely had little effect on enrollment, it's repeal likely won't change much either, beyond premium increases for everyone that remains covered.</blockquote>
