One key provision of the Affordable Care Act is the “individual mandate,” which says that most people living in the U.S. must have health coverage beginning in January 2014. This means that if you are currently uninsured, you are required to get health coverage, either public or private, or pay a penalty. In 2014, the penalty is 1% of your annual income, or $95, whichever is higher. Government subsidies and cost assistance may be available for people who cannot afford a policy on their own.http://okpolicy.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bigstockphoto_health_care_reform_green_road__5632944.jpg
