Not really the case - insurance mainly works when the majority of the people paying the premiums (and rarely using the service) covers the costs of the few that need expensive services. In the car analogy: the law mandates that you carry auto liability insurance, which ends up lowering the costs for everyone. This is what the ACA had at its core.

That only works when it's mandatory for everyone.
