I have always believed we could drop out of SS whenever we wanted.
I've heard of several people who say they already have opted out .. so why is this supposed to be "something new".

Not in the US of A, they didn't, unless they were employed by one of the local governments that opted out back in the 70's during a brief "let 1000 flowers bloom" period.
Nowadays, even the self-employed are required to pay in.
