I'm impressed that anyone could find a moral high ground in paying for medical services.
That said, you're avoiding the exchanges to your own detriment, more power to you.
It's not about a moral high ground, though. For example, I fully support Medicaid for those who require it; I don't want to see anybody have to do without health care, and I don't feel morally superior to somebody who can't afford it.
It's simply a part of my personality that I'm not comfortable leaning on anybody for anything, just as I'm not comfortable with other people (e.g. politicians) substituting their judgment for my own.
