are DREAMers required to buy health insurance?

are DACA recipients required to buy health insurance?

(I don't wanna be penalized at tax time if I don't buy insurance...)

No, we are not required.

Even if we were required to, taking the penalty would be cheaper than healthcare since we don't qualify for subsidies assuming you can't afford the standard rates to begin with.

I feel like if we have to pay a penalty in taxes for not enrolling in Obamacare (ACA), we should be able to sue the Goverment. How could we be penalized for not getting something we're not allowed to get in the first place?

It's like if we got a penalty for not applying for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).. even though we're not allowed to to begin with

This,also penalties are also not applicable unless your status is at least a permanent resident.

This is really no different from us paying SSN and Medicare taxes without being able to benefit from them. It may not be in a form of "penalty", but we gain nothing by paying taxes nonetheless.

My wife is LPR does she need to have insurance or no?

Yes she does.

For the rest of us, we're not allowed to get it, but still are attacked for not being required to have it. I would gladly pay for insurance.

Is she able to participate in the Obamacare program or is that only for Citizens?

To quote the late great Walter White, learn to take yes for an answer!
