First I ever heard of it. In all the talk about the penalty, nobody ever said “and when you pay the penalty, you will be sent the details of the insurance plan you were enrolled in using your penalty money”.
I just got a letter from the IRS today warning me that if I stay uninsured I may face heavy penalties this year so I should enroll before Jan 31st. It didn’t say anything about using my penalty to buy me insurance. Glad I can ignore that letter.
I have been claiming an exemption because insurance would cost more than 8% of my gross income. If they actually provided insurance in exchange for paying the 2% penalty, that exemption wouldn’t need to exist.

Obamacare doesn’t need to exist.
Obamacare appeared to be based on the vaporous assumption that Doctors can make people well.
The word of Yehova says that doctors take all the money that people have and deliver absolutely nothing.(Mark 5:25-26)
The US government apparently does the same.
