It's still shocking to see the lack of substance in some of the comments here.

I don't post very often even though been lurking again recently.

I know a young couple who decided to buy the house and in order to make payments for the utilities, etc., stopped their HC insurance with the excuse that they are "healthy" and could afford whatever doctor visits they may have over the next few years.  They also figure, like some CEOs, that the penalty they may have to pay is cheaper than the monthly insurance costs.
