It's fairly common actually. Here's an article covering cancellations by a major insurer (Blue Cross). The data isn't massaged, it is based on sworn testimony before congress.

"WellPoint's Blue Cross of California subsidiary and two other insurers saved more than $300 million in medical claims by canceling more than 20,000 sick policyholders over a five-year period"
Do the math: $300,000,000/20,000 = $15,000 saved per cancellation.
