On the one hand it's around 5% of the population, and unless you need subsidies, you can get policies directly from the insurers, and there are private comparison shopping sites.
On the other hand, most will have to pay more money, often a LOT more, often for worse coverage in ways they most care about, and this small fraction of the population includes some of the most influential.
