"It was a convenient excuse for him to avoid pay health insurance premiums after his divorce. The premiums from these folks with an "independent streak" will lower premiums for the responsible who already pay for medical insurance."

My guess is people like your ex-business partner are the exception and people like me, who had to fork over over 2k/month because of what was really a minor medical condition were the rule. Someone who's financially (and morally) responsible won't risk family ruin by not having medical insurance. The current system puts people in the position of either risking their entire net worth on an unforeseen medical emergency or a slow death through usurious premiums that can be raised at will. Unless of course one of the spouses is fortunate enough to find a job where health insurance is a benefit.
