Buying guns and buying health insurance are about equivalent in terms of difficulty, but the obstacles are different. Questions are asked in both cases. If you buy a gun in even the most gun-liberal (liberal as in lenient laws) states, you need to pass a background check or hunt down a private seller who will sell to you. Private sellers aren't as ubiquitous as some people make them seem. You can find a few at a gun show, but the nearest gun show to you might be an hour drive away and only is held once every few months. You might be able to find one online in certain states and set up an inperson meeting with them, but that is pretty rare too. Overall it is likely easier to just pass the background check or buy a gun illegally than to find a private seller with what you want. This is why most illegal guns used in crimes are stolen or supplied by gang members, not legal private sellers.
To buy health-insurance you need to go to the ACA marketplace (or directly to the insurance holder) put in information about yourself, and then find the plan you want. Like buying a gun you will shop around for the plan you like the best.
