Q. To avoid owing a penalty for not having health insurance next year, what's the deadline for buying a plan?
A. The simple answer is March 31, but unfortunately it's not that straightforward.
Starting in January, most people will need to have health insurance. If they don't, they'll owe a penalty amounting to $95 or 1 percent of the family income, whichever is greater. This fee will be collected when they file their federal income taxes.

Buying Insurance on Exchanges: It Helps to Have Help
New online marketplaces don't do enough to let consumers weigh their options, experts say

FRIDAY, Oct. 18 (HealthDay News) -- You have to wade through a lot of insurance jargon and be a skilled number-cruncher to choose the right health insurance plan on the new health exchanges, health literacy and consumer decision-making experts say.
Skipping on down..."Comparing costs of plans is difficult," said Robert Krughoff, founder and president of the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit Center for the Study of Services, and Consumers' CHECKBOOK, a publisher of health-plan ratings.
First consumers have to figure out whether, say, a $200 deductible with a $10,000 out-of-pocket limit is better than a $1,000 deductible with a $3,000 out-of-pocket limit for them, Krughoff explained. "Then you throw in different co-insurance rates and different co-payments and consumers just can't put all that together into a single number that they can compare," he said.
Even the language of insurance, with concepts like co-insurance and tax credits, is confusing, the experts noted.
"We're asking people to do a lot of heavy lifting right now when it comes to things that (studies show are) very problematic for the general public," said Christina Zarcadoolas, a professor at the City University of New York's School of Public Health at Hunter College.
