    With implementation of the Affordable Care Act, everyone is required to carry health insurance.  This could be as part of an employer or other group or on an individual level.  Medicare recipients already have compliant coverage.  If you qualify for Medicaid you will have compliant coverage.  If you do not pay taxes you may be able to sneak through the cracks, but for the most part be prepared to either buy health insurance or be ready to pay a tax penalty.

    Most everyone is required to have an approved health insurance plan under Obamacare provisions, but there are exceptions to the mandate.

    Churches and religious institutions are exempt from the employer mandate. Illegal immigrants, those who are in prison and members of Native American (American Indian) tribes are also exempt from the mandate.
