I'm not sure that mandating it is going to immediately bring the prices down.

I'm not sure about the immediately part, but it WILL reduce premiums without a doubt. The costs of procedures, hopsital stays, doctors visits, pharmaceuticals, etc.. will all decrease which in turn will make insurance policies much cheaper.
The problem we'll have if we don't mandate is that we all know there is a certain percentage of the population who thinks their bullet proof and don't need the insurance or they'll simply use their money on other stuff and won't buy into a plan.
If that's allowed, premiums won't go down.
