Do not sign up.

On that subject, do any tax FReepers here know exactly how the gooberment will know who has and who doesn't have health insurance? Will the IRS be deployed as the information gatherer?

Yes. The IRS will start with the assumption that you do NOT have healthcare and thus owe the penalty. It will be up to you to prove you have coverage and thereby reduce the penalty to zero. It will be cross-checked by insurers issuing the equivalent of a 1099 so the IRS can see if you are lying.

All those listening to "Navigators" who tell them to lie will have a rude awakening come April 15, 2015. I'll bet paying back improperly claimed subsidies will not be exempt from the tender mercies of the IRS collection arm. They might even find ways to make it a criminal charge. There's a poop storm a comin'.
