If I don't have health insurance, do I have any penalties to pay?
This part of the law was changed by Congress, for plans that were starting in 2019. The payment referred to as the individual shared responsibility payment no longer applies in plan year 2019, for which you will be filing taxes in April 2020
How do I get health care coverage for 2019 if I am not signed up for VA health care or the Department of Defense health care program?
You may still be able to get health care coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace. Enrolment for this for 2019 is now over however. You can still enrol or change plans if you have had certain life changes or if you qualify for free or low-cost coverage through Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program CHIP
