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.

The penalty for remaining uninsured rises to the larger of $325 or 2% of income in 2015. Related: Obamacare 2.0 sign ups hit 9.5 million.
