I suspect that in the end, the verification step will happen as part of your yearly taxes. Show proof of insurance, or $3,800 (or whatever the final penalty is) gets tacked on to your tax bill. The hospital will ask for insurance information and/or direct payment, like they do now, and some people will still tell them they have none, like they do now. At most the hospital will report you to whatever agency for having no insurance, while still treating you.
