ObamaCareâs individual mandate requires that most Americans obtain health insurance by 2014 or pay a tax penalty. The individual mandate went into effect at the beginning of January 2014 and continues each year.
The maximum penalty is the national average annual premium for a bronze insurance plan, which was $2,448 in 2014. Obamacare allows Americans to go up to three months without coverage. Some may also qualify for exemptions, such as if the insurance premiums exceed 8% of one's annual household income.
