Question: are you fined for not having health insurance?
Answer: In 2016 and later years, it will be 2.5% of yearly household income or $695 per adult ($347.50 per child under 18 years). The penalty is adjusted for inflation after 2016. If you are uninsured for part of the year, you will pay 1/12 of the yearly penalty for each month you are uninsured.
