You are correct. As of January 1, 2019, the ACA individual mandate was eliminated by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, passed in December, 2017.

Charity Navigator seems to be based on the 990 alone. Their methodology is here:
Charity Navigator's Methodology : Charity Navigator Charity Watch, another charity rating service, analyzes many documents besides the 990. Their methodology is here: Criteria & Methodology | Charity Ratings | Charity Rankings | CharityWatch Charity Watch explains how some charities try to make it look like they are more efficient with donations than they are and how Charity Watch looks for that and uses it in its evaluations. Keep in mind that both Charity Watch and Charity Navigator are 501c3 charities themselves but neither rates the other. |

Already answered in Post No.17. The ACA did require health insurance, but that part of the law was eliminated in 2019 by the tax cut act. Just because a law is not enforced doesn't mean it is not illegal to break it. But, to be accurate, the IRS did enforce the ACA individual mandate on tax returns prior to 2018. For example, in 2015, the IRS collected $3.1 billion in penalties from people who violated the ACA individual mandate to have health insurance.

For plan years through 2018, if you can afford health insurance but choose not to buy it, you may pay a fee called the individual Shared Responsibility Payment when you file your federal taxes. (The fee is sometimes called the "penalty," "fine," or "individual mandate.") It was never against the law. You could choose to pay the fee, which no longer exists. |

It was never illegal to not have insurance. If it were, you could have charges pressed against you, or have a misdemeanor summons issued against you if it was only a misdemeanor. It would be something you'd have the opportunity to plead guilty/not guilty/no contest to. This was a fee that was intended to offset some of the costs of subsidies for people who -can't- afford health care and whose employers don't offer it. A mandatory fee in exchange for choosing not to have any health insurance. Again, it was never actually implemented, no one has ever been made to pay the fee. |
