If you can make do without health insurance from or tax breaks for your parents, the solution to this is to not apply for financial aid as a dependent. They will always consider your parents' ability to contribute, even if they hate the idea of higher education and refuse to spend a dime on it.
The amount of student aid I became eligible for once I applied as independent was insane.
