Since tucked in the healthcare law requires the banks to provide your bank account numbers I’ll assume they will just take it from what you have in there rather than wait for your taxes.

They'll have to make it illegal to make withdrawals then. I'll put it in my mattress before the taxman can get into my bank account.

requires the banks to provide your bank account numbers No such provision. Sec.5000a of the healthcare law indicates: 9 ‘‘(2) INCLUSION WITH RETURN.—Any penalty 10 imposed by this section with respect to any month 11 shall be included with a taxpayer’s return under 12 chapter 1 for the taxable year which includes such 13 month. If you don't pay it, it gets handled like any other federal debt.
