As everyone who is even remotely familiar with the DC comic universe knows, kryptonite is the one weakness of the otherwise indestructible Superman. Kryptonite is described as radioactive remains of Supermanâs home planet of Krypton and has not only detrimental effects on Superman but on other Kryptonians as well. As the Superman mythos developed, kryptonite was discovered to come in many different forms, each having their own unique effect on Superman.
Preliminary figures from the IRS show that about 7.5 million people paid up to $1.5 billion and another 12 million received a low-income exemption to Obamacare's individual mandate penalty. The law requires a taxpayer to pay a penalty of $95 or 1 percent of yearly income, whatever is higher, if he doesn't have insurance.
ObamaCareâs employer mandate and redefinition of full-time work are the primary culprits. Effective January 1, 2015, large employers like Staples must provide health insurance for 70 percent of their full-time workforce or face penalties of up to $3,000 per employee, with the exception of the first 80 employees. It also happens that the ACA defines full-time work as only 30 hours per week.
