Wrong in a couple ways.
First, it's the higher of the per-person fee of $695/adult, $347.50/child, to a maximum of $2,085 or 2.5% of income up to the average annual price of a bronze plan on the exchange ($2,448 in 2014). Not "plus", and there are sensible caps.
Second, that's the price of not having insurance. You can have insurance and not see a doctor (and this is a fairly common choice for folks with a sky-high deductible).
