does that not mean you are charged with a federal crime which in turn is a felony You have to be convicted in a court of proper jurisdiction before you're guilty of a felony. They also have to bring charges of a criminal nature. The ACA specifies that no criminal charges may be brought for either not getting insurance or paying the penalty. So, no, it is not a felony.

If there are no penalties are charges for not paying the fine, why bother to pay it.
Did congress remove the part about jail time if you don’t have insurance?
