Every year my insurance premiums go up at least 20%, and this year I'm looking at 40%. Moreover, the care is absolute shit. If I were to have a catastrophic incident, my bronze HMO is going to leave me with a hefty bill in any event. Fortunately, I am in great health, and at this point I'm considering just bailing on health insurance.

If you're in the USA, you're looking on the open market, and you haven't selected a plan yet, then you're already going to go without health insurance for some period of time. Open enrollment with no gap in coverage ended on December 15th.
