The Affordable Care Act limits insurance premiums and mandates personal coverage. It's basically identical to RomneyCare, enacted by Mitt Romney in 2006.
The mandate was originally proposed in the 1990s by Newt Gingrich and the Heritage Foundation, as a free market response against Hillary Clinton's plan.

ObamaCare is RomneyCare.
ProTip: If it's based on for-profit insurance companies, it's not "socialized medicine".

Barack Hussein Obama II is the 44th POTUS. Considered to be a devotee of Christian Reverend Jeremiah Wright, a Kenyan Muslim and a Godless Socialist, who spends all his time apologizing to terrorists.
Obama's mother mysteriously flew from her home in Hawaii over to Africa to give birth, but presciently knew he would run for President, so she ran baby announcements in two Hawaii newspapers, then snuck a fake birth certificate into a hospital. Obviously.

Someone who repeatedly whines that homosexuals endanger family values and the sanctity of marriage, until outed as a closet case, desperately afraid of the gay person looking back in the mirror.
Someone who calls homosexuality a "lifestyle choice" but their own biology disagrees. Think about it: did you CHOOSE to be straight? As a teenager did you sit down one day and decide whether to be attracted to boys or girls?

It isn't surprising that stories about homophobes (like Bob Allen, Roy Ashburn, Bruce Barclay, Larry Craig, John Curtin, Mark Foley, Matthew Glavin, Ted Haggard, Phillip Hinkle, Glenn Murphy, Brent Parker, George Rekers, Ed Schrock, etc) often end with "was caught behind the restroom with a cock in his mouth".

Hostility towards people who care about facts and education.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov

Posting pictures of someone arguing with an empty chair.
The latest instagram fad, hopefully to replace epicurean planking.

Romney's full name. Oddly enough, he didn't like being called Willard, and chose to go by his middle name instead.
His father, George Romney, named him after hotel magnate J Willard Marriott and his uncle Milton Romney (nicknamed Mitt).

"We have tough gun laws in Massachusetts; I support them." - Willard Romney in 2002.
"I will preserve and protect a woman's right to choose and am devoted and dedicated to honoring my word in that regard." - Willard Romney in 2004.
"I proposed that everyone must either purchase a product of their choice or demonstrate that they can pay for their own health care. It's a personal responsibility principle. ... It applies to people who are excessively using the free-care pool, and some incentive to avoid that is appropriate. But it's not a tax." - Willard Romney in 2006.
"Let Detroit Go Bankrupt." - Willard Romney in 2008.
"There was a fear that the whole economic system of America would collapse -- that all of our banks, or virtually all, would go out of business. In that circumstance, President Bush and Hank Paulson said we've got to do something to show we're not going to let the whole system go out of business. I think they were right to do that." - Willard Romney in 2010.
