What is the silver lining?

If they can get cheaper plans by buying only the coverage they want, not what the government dictates that they have to pay for somebody else, they're going to be really happy.

So you think insurance companies are going to suddenly drop their prices to celebrate the end of Obamacare?

For the most part they didn't want to have to pay for health insurance at all, and did not appreciate the mandate. Those who then had to pay out of pocket for something they did not want, or pay a tax penalty, will now be happy to go back to receiving their health care from the emergency room. Some percentage of those who were poor enough to have most of their health care costs covered by subsidies, or medicaid expansion, did not ever use those benefits, so won't care. Those who did receive substantial subsidies, or were covered by the medicaid expansion, and then went on to use those benefits, will likely not be too happy about the change. Since when has the Republican party cared about that small slice of the voting public?

Without a mandate, they can't ban denial for pre-existing conditions.
