The penalty is not “$95”, it’s considerably more complicated than that, and it increases in 2015 and 2016.

It’s explained well here:

For example:

If an individual has a household income of $50,000, the percentage would be 1% of the difference between $50,000 and the tax threshold (which is $9,350 for an
individual in 2010). Assuming the tax threshold is $10,000 in 2014, this individual would be subject to a percentage penalty of $400. Because this percentage penalty is greater than the flat dollar penalty for 2014 (which is $95), he would
pay the percentage penalty.
