Can I Go To Jail For Not Having Health Insurance? 
Great question ! The answer is no , going to jail for not having insurance is just a scare tactic rumor . What will happen if you do n't have a policy is that -LRB- unless you have a ton of money - and I mean a TON -RRB- if you have a medical issue , you will give an awful lot of that money to your healthcare providers . Then to add insult to injury , you will be assessed a penalty on your 2014 tax filing . It makes sense to go on the WEBSITELINK website , see if you qualify to get a discounted rate , and purchase a policy . If you need help , please contact me , I 'm always happy to help . Thanks for asking !
