The penalty associated with the Affordable Care Act (commonly known as ObamaCare) was introduced by Congress during the law's passage in 2010. Specifically, it was included as part of the legislation to encourage individuals to obtain health insurance coverage. The penalty, often referred to as the individual mandate, was later reduced to $0 starting in 2019 by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump.
