That's like the completely opposite of what should happen. If you think of health insurance economically, there are income coming in (premiums) and payouts according to some risk pool. Right now the payouts are higher than they were before because of pre-existing conditions, and the income is lower because people under 26 not paying their own insurance premiums. If "healthy" people start paying lower premiums and not really lowering the payments very much since they are pretty healthy and don't really cost the insurance very much anyways, then the "unhealthy" people are going to be paying even higher premiums.

If healthcare is too expensive for most people than the only solution that works is for most people to pay less.
