My understanding is that they'll charge you the fine if you can't prove health insurance coverage when you file your tax return. Of course, there's a big difference between the IRS fining you and collecting it. I'm sure a whole "we can get your health insurance penalties reduced by 50%" cottage industry will spring up.
