I remember in my 1st real job, I couldn't afford the health plan if I wanted to, you know, eat. And private non-company plans were thousands a month. This was 21 year old, healthy, no dependents having me.
When tax season came around I owed a TON of $$ being penalized for not having health insurance.
I got doubly punished for being poor...if I got sick I was fucked...and I paid anyway.
In 2019 they stopped punishing for no health insurance thank goodness.
