Ernie,
Per the bill as it now stands the fine per individual will go to $750 a year in a phased in manner. I believe it starts around $90 per year in 2011, but will have to go back and read that part of the bill again to be sure. I will try to find that section and paste it for you. I know it is under SEC. 5000B, but forget the paragraph and sub-paragraph. And of course this is assuming that part of the bill isn't changed in the final version. But nowhere in the piles of pages I have read does it define what they consider as affordable.
To me that is kind of like buying a new car based on the promise it will be a reasonable and fair price when you go to pay for it.
