It is not illegal to go without health insurance in the United states, other countries may have different laws.

In the USA, it will soon be required to hold health insurance or pay a tax.

The tax will start out as a minimum of $95 in 2014. It will raise to $695 minimum bu 2016, but the tax for a family can not raise beyond 3 times that of the single person tax, no matter how many in the family.

In 2017 the tax will rise each year in order to be equal to inflation.

There will be exemptions and tax breaks depending on income, whether or not you can afford the plans offered by your employer, etc. As well as insurance plans scaled to income in order to attempt to make insurance affordable to all, making the tax avoidable.

Does the health care reform bill really offer health care to the illegal aliens?

No. There are 2 bills in the Senate, 1 in the House, 1 bill being drafted by the Senate Finance committee and the President's proposal None of them propose offering health care insurance to illegal aliens. That said, it would be cheaper to offer insurance to illegal aliens since the Tax payer already pays for their health care. When an illegal alien gets sick, they go to the hospital. The hospital by law, can't not treat the person so those costs (which are much higher then if the illegal alien had insurance and went to a doctor's office) are paid for by tax payers.
