This is why we fail so badly as a country.
Your right to previously underpay for health insurance had ended. Externalized costs are now being internalized. That's how insurance works; to spread risk across everyone. Now, if you're unhappy with that, I suggest either leaving the country or simply not paying for insurance and paying the IRS-imposed fine. You can then self-insure and absorb any of your healthcare costs yourself.
