Abstract:
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a federal tax law passed late in 2017, will eliminate the financial penalties imposed on people who do not maintain creditable coverage as defined under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) from 2019 onward. This paper describes ACA provisions encouraging enrollment in health coverage, explores the potential impact of the elimination of federal penalties, and discusses why California may wish to impose state-based penalties to promote enrollment.
