The fines for the first year are only like 90 some odd dollars per adult.
The problem is going to be two and three years from now when the fines are 2000 plus for a family of four.
The people who can least afford to have 2000 dollars garnished from their EITC and other tax returns are going to feel the pain badly because those are the same people who can't afford the monthly premiums, despite the subsidization that comes in at tax time that is supposed to reimburse them.
That 400 dollars some odd for a family of four for a bronze plan, per month, shit or lose 2 grand at tax time is going to be changed before it hits. There's no way that makes it live without people picking up pitchforks and torches.
