What happens when someone puts it off their whole life and doesn't have money when they need to enroll?

Is that a different case than someone putting off enrolling in health insurance today, with or without the ACA?

I think that's on you. The purpose of the government is not to protect you from making monumentally bad life choices. If the government doesn't bail those people out then that will just strengthen the incentive to sign up when you become eligible.
