The rest of it didn’t not post. My apologies. Health insurance is not a tax. A lot of people are fighting the case if not having health insurance and winning. There is no point in paying for health insurance when I only go to the doctor once in a blue moon. Especially when I have insurance. I still have to pay. I had nearly a $700 penalty.

Unfortunately, if you don't have qualifying healthcare coverage you must pay the the fee when you file your federal tax return for the year you don't have coverage.
