In UK tax law a capital gain is when you sell shares, land, property etc, at a higher amount for which you acquired it.
Capital Gains Tax is charged at different (generally lower) rates than Income Tax and is subject to generous allowances, so unless you regularly sell property etc you are unlikely to have to pay CGT but you still have to declare capital gains, even if there is no liability calulated.

If an individual reported capital gain in 2007 and had to pay a medicaid penalty in 2009 can this penalty amount be counted as a capital loss against the capital gain?
The medicaid item is NOT a deductible amount of any nature (penalties to start generally aren't and medicade contributions aren't either). And certainly in any regard would not be a capital item ever. Medicaide is NOT a capital asset, it may have a cost, but you do not have any basis invested to calculate a gain or loss from. (Consider that what your thinking would then mean every payment or coverage you receive would then have to be a capital gain).
