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.
It starts at $95 per person or 1% of income in 2014; rises to $325 or 2% of income in 2015; then increases to $695 per adult or 2.5% of income in 2016. Thereafter, the penalty will be adjusted for inflation. Someone who lacks coverage for only part of the year would only pay part of the penalty.
