Different states have different laws, however I think it is advisable to have health care insurance as health care is expensive, but I don't think it is a required law.

In the Obama health care plan are American's required by law to have health Insurance?

Yes, but Obama has created this as a loophole to please insurance companies while still allowing people to have government health care. The "fine" for not having health insurance (and therefore having government health care instead) is only $300 per year, which is MUCH less than Americans pay for health insurance. It's the same as putting in a $300 a year tax increase to pay for health care, but he didn't call it that to trick the insurance companies into supporting it!! Haha, smart guy!!

Can you have no insurance?

You can go without insurance, but are liable for any damages you cause. If you have no car insurance and are pulled over or are involved in an accident, you may well get a ticket. That would depend on type of insurance we are discussing. If you do not have a auto, you do not need auto insurance in the United States. If you chose to drive and do not wish to have insurance, you must be able to provide proof you can cover a certain dollar amount in damages (this varies by state). If you are asking about life insurance, you do not need that either. Now health insurance is about to become much different if the current Administration gets their way and it does not get blocked in the legal system. Once health care for all becomes law, you will be required to buy health insurance, unless you are considered by our Government to be too poor to pay for it. If you fail to purchase this health insurance they will be able to fine you for not buying a private helath care package. Yes, shortly you will be required to carry health care.
