When the aca was passed, insurance was mandatory. Sorry i forgot that the gop tax bill in 2017 repealed the individual mandate penalty. Some states still do have a penalty for being uninsured.

The penalty wasn’t close to making it mandatory. It was still cheaper for people to pay $900 out of their tax refund than to buy “affordable” $300-600/month insurance with a $2-8K deductible. Lots of people opted for the penalty.
