I certainly think so - I'm in the process of quitting my job to work on a company, and the health insurance will be my biggest expense other than rent and food. If it was more affordable, I could survive a lot longer without running out of money. Also, if you're starting a company, you shouldn't even consider not having health insurance - while expensive, at least there is a limit to the downside. Without it, your potential downside is almost unlimited.
