Most of the people I know who are in that position 'take the money' because 
they have a spouse who has medical coverage and they don't need a second 
insurance policy as the money is more helpful.

Also, if you are healthy it's a better crap shoot on not having the 
insurance.
But all it takes is one fall off the ladder, a lump in your groin or a 
pregnancy gone bad for you to be financially ruined.

In our early marriage we went without insurance because we just didn't have 
the money and I worried every week about it.........it was awfully scary to 
contemplate the 'what it'.

Got to tell you, reading about people who don't have insurance 'by choice', 
I don't know any of these people!
Those I know who don't have it do want it. There's no choice in the matter.

And a lot of people I know who purchase their own insurance, well it costs 
them the ability to afford other things that many take for granted.

 It would be a relief for many for the insurance chasm to get a bit more 
even between the have and the have nots. There such a wide gap between costs 
to the individual and the type of coverage available.
