Which state?

There are some states such as CA, MA, and NJ, that require you to have health insurance. If you do not have health insurance they charge you a penalty which in some states is called a shared responsibility payment.

New Jersey. Does any health insurance qualify? Does it need to be through the state programs?

The insurance does not have to be through the New Jersey Marketplace, but it must meet Minimum Essential Coverage as established by Obamacare. See How to Determine if You Have Minimum Essential Coverage. @gsaverio
