He can cancel it during the next annual "open enrollment" period: he does not need to re-enroll or renew the insurance, but can instead cancel it then. Insurance may generally  only be changed, added, or dropped annually, since the policies are one-year contracts. You can't cancel it mid-policy year, even if the cost has become burdensome for you; you are contratually locked in for the year.
