Never. It will always be legal to go uninsured, but some people who go without health insurance will have to pay a tax penalty. The penalty started to apply on January 1, 2014. In order to be hit with the penalty, you must

  • Be a U.S. citizen or legal resident (no undocumented immigrants; American Indians also are exempt)
  • Have income greater than the tax filing minimum ($9,750 for a one-person household)
  • Pay no more than 8% of your income for the lowest cost plan
  • Not be in jail

Even if you meet all of those criteria, you can still go three months "bare" and pay no penalty.

Does the health care reform bill really offer health care to the illegal aliens?

No. There are 2 bills in the Senate, 1 in the House, 1 bill being drafted by the Senate Finance committee and the President's proposal None of them propose offering health care insurance to illegal aliens. That said, it would be cheaper to offer insurance to illegal aliens since the Tax payer already pays for their health care. When an illegal alien gets sick, they go to the hospital. The hospital by law, can't not treat the person so those costs (which are much higher then if the illegal alien had insurance and went to a doctor's office) are paid for by tax payers.
