I wouldn't (and have always made sure I had coverage since I left home), the cost vs. risk doesn't make sense.

However, I deal with several 18-22 yr. olds on a daily basis and these guys/gals don't make the best decisions or for the most part really have a clue how things work. Most won't even know they got hit with a $ 750 penalty from the Fed until they file their taxes and don't get anything back or have to pay.

And as FD said, the $ 750 will go into the general fund, just like the Medicare tax increase.
