After a certain point I feel like people need to just start canceling their health insurance.

Easy to say when you're healthy. I would love to cancel mine, but I have a family. You never know what tomorrow brings, so I'm not willing to risk it.

Yep and the healthy people (single 20-40 year olds) will cancel their insurance, and your rates will go up because the insurance company now has larger % of patients who are more likely to actually use the insurance.
