No he does not have the money. People with money or assets to protect do not risk losing it all for a few hundred dollars a month in insurance premiums.
And while it seems like I am being harsh I will admit that when I was young, single and poor I also went without health insurance for a while. It is not a huge risk if you have nothing to lose. But this type of thinking is what led to the mandate. People with no insurance never refuse treatment. Instead they get treated and some one else ends up paying for it.
