They went the route that I described above. If you're without insurance for more than 2 months, your next insurer will charge you a penalty of 30% of the normal monthly rate for each month you were uninsured in the previous 12 months. So let's say you lost your insurance, and after 10 months went to buy a new plan for your family on the individual market at $1,000/month, you would owe a penalty of $3,000.

Though they also otherwise mostly gutted everything worthwhile about the ACA, so. We're all just screwed.
