It doesn’t seem fair that a federally mandated program doesn’t cost the same for everyone. Could that be a lawsuit for equal protection or something like that?

Good try, but nope. Remember that Chief Justice Roberts ruled that Obamacare is a tax. And tax rates can be applied progressively (unequally).

As an aside, who would have thought five years ago that Roberts would be so destructive to personal liberty? Now you have to pay a tax just for being you.

I look at the fine as paying a tax for not buying something. The possibilities are endless.
