What happens to me if I don’t participate and buy the mandated insurance coverage?

You will be penalized by the IRS when you file your taxes. It will be subject to a percentage of your income. It is written that in the first year it may be a low as $95. But this will be phased out very quickly over the next several years and a larger percentage will be assigned.
