Residents who are not exempt and do not buy insurance for 2015 could face penalties of $325 per adult (plus $162.50 for each child not covered) or 2 percent of their household income, whichever is higher. The penalty will be assessed when they file their 2015 taxes next year.
Federal financial assistance has helped lower the cost of coverage for 83 percent of Delawareans. The average monthly premium after tax credits in Delaware is $146.
