EDIT:  This article is wrong.  I've certainly had people who owe taxes in addition to penalty.  I don't know where the author of this article is getting his information.  It's not true in practice.  I've had people who owe the health care penalty in addition to taxes. Whether or not they got a refund is irrelevant.

 

In this situation he is certainly getting a refund unless there is another source of income.  So it doesn't matter anyway.
