Then you are screwed! try to avoid injury when possible and work harder or seek a new job with a better payout.
The ACA has several provisions for who is required to purchase health insurance. In essence, the poor are exempted (as ACA provides for an expansion of Medicare to cover the truly poor). Those at lower income levels are provided a subsidy, depending on household income, with which to purchase healthcare. If, after all that, you decide you still can't afford healthcare insurance, you will be subject to a 2.5% tax penalty on your taxable income level, subject to about a $700 minimum tax, starting in 2016 (lower penalties apply starting 2014).
