According to the new Affordable Care Act (often called "ObamaCare"), it will be illegal not to have insurance unless you are poor, in which case, you will be eligible for government subsidies. The people who choose not to buy into the system will pay a fine of $695. The reason for having such a fine, which is modeled on a plan first implemented by Mitt Romney in Massachusetts, is to make sure everyone has to pay their fair share, rather than some people using emergency rooms or getting free care even if they can afford it.
