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.
Carolyn Kaster/AP. About 7.5 million Americans paid an average penalty of $200 for not having health insurance in 2014 â the first year most Americans were required to have coverage under the Affordable Care Act, the Internal Revenue Service said Tuesday.
For 2015, the penalty increases to $325 per adult or 2 percent of income, and in 2016 it will be the greater of $695 or 2.5 percent of income. The $95 penalty has gotten a lot of press, but many people will be paying substantially more than that. A single person earning more than $19,650 would not qualify for the $95 penalty ($19,650 â $10,150 = $9,500 x 1percent = $95). So the 1 percent penalty is the standard that will apply in most cases, say experts.
