Z,
Right. But they also do have health insurance, which will help them. I mean, I'm young and pretty darned healthy, and yet, insurance certainly helps me. I wouldn't have known that in advance, but you can't predict when something will go wrong.
Some people prefer to take their chances.

Some people only want cheap insurance that only covers catastrophic events.

The coverage mandate takes away their choices for two reasons:

a) Government decided that they should have to pay for "something better."

b) Government decided that they need to be in the same pool as high-risk patients, i.e. the healthy subsidizing the sick.

You might decide that this is better for society overall, just like Peter Lee did here in California.

But you can no longer pretend that costs are going down for most of us, just like Obama can't promise anymore that if you like your current plan, you get to keep it.
