I can't afford health insurance, so how can the government make me buy it?

But even more important, you guessed right about premiums being subsidized. Come 2014, households with an income of less than 400 percent of the federal poverty level, which in 2012 works out to $44,680 for a single person and $92,200 for a family of four, will be eligible for a subsidy in the form of a refundable tax credit. That means you get it even if you don't owe federal income tax. The subsidies get larger the lower your income.
that doesn't cover my single person with a pre-existing condition making $60k a year with a $2000 insurance plan. this guy after taxes clears, ~$3500/month. even at $1000/month premiums, that's 30% of income paying insurance UNSUBSIDIZED.
