I haven’t researched what happens if someone doesn’t “buy” Obamacare and gets sick/huge hospital bill…
If it was as simple as paying a fine and then buy insurance once you get sick, then everyone would do that and not carry any car/home/fire insurance, etc…

That’s accurate as far as policies sold through the insurance exchanges. Non-exchange policies won’t have the limited enrollment periods. At least for 2014, enrollment ends on 3/31 next year.
