New York City and having health insurance?

Question

I really need to know but am unable to find any information on this: Is it true that in NYC you are required to have health insurance or you can be put in jail? My boyfriend is not going to be a student as of next month and will lose his health insurance. If he is caught (e.x. needs to go to the hospital for a broken bone) without it could he really go to jail? Thanks

It is not true that you need health insurance in nyc. There are thousands or people living in nyc that do not have health insurance. He can go to a hospital with out insurance but he will be paying that bill for a while.
