So, is it illegal to not have health insurance since there is no longer a fine? On a federal level, having health insurance is no longer a legal requirement. However, a handful of states in the U.S. require citizens to obtain coverage or pay a tax penalty.
What? No. Absolutely no-one is going to jail for not having health insurance. I think you’re thinking of the tax penalty for not having it.

I’m pretty sure that penalty has been removed now too.
Yeah, years ago.
