Many, many people also drop healthcare coverage for a raise of half the amount or more of the coverage. The fascinating thing is that some 17 Million of the 43 Million (NOT 50 Million as the left is claiming) so-called "uninsured" are in the 18-24 age range AND more than half spend 5x as much on eating out as they do health care. These are not people who need insurance coverage. They're people who don't want it because they're healthy. A standard BCBS policy for these people in most states would amount to less than their cell phone bills.
