Health insurance isn't /that/ big of an issue due to Obamacare and similar state programs. Yes, could have to pay almost $1k/mo to get insurance, but it's just one more expense along with rent, food, etc. It is more expensive than getting healthcare via an employer due to tax breaks, group negotiations, etc, it shouldn't stop people from going solo if they just treat it as another expense.

And it's not that cheap. You're better off working somewhere, quitting, using the COBRA (1200-2k+ for fam), when it runs out getting another job, quitting, rinse repeat.
