Are people who work less than 30 hours a week required to buy insurance or get fined?
How does medicare and VA work in obamacare? Is medicare considered the required insurance? Do the vets have “affordable insurance” at the VA?

My understanding is that EVERYBODY is required to buy insurance. If you can’t afford it you’ll get taxpayer assistance. The IRS example for a family of four on the lowest plan is that the plan will cost them $20,000. I find that estimate breathtaking. I suspect that it’s also low. But a family earning up to $88,000/year will get something on the order of $3,000 assistance. But if they make (estimating) $88,001 they get no assistance.
I can’t answer the other questions. But the plan is to hire thousands upon thousands of helpers who will assist you and answer your questions. The irony is that those helper will not be covered by insurance.
If Obamacare is not defunded by January (unlikely) it will start giving money to probably 80% of the public to buy insurance. At that point defunding or getting rid of the law may be impossible.
