Get a load of the B.S. a GOP follower tried to tell me about "Obamacare" [View all]

I had started a reasonable discussion about Obamacare provisions to take effect in 2014 on YouTube replies to a TYT video about that. It slowly degenerated into the user called "GOP2010" posting the following as a reply to a post I made about my own situation being rejected time and again for insurance plans due to pre-existing conditions and how sharing information about my condition seems a violation of HIPPA, to some extent. Here is how GOP2010 responded:
" If you're upset about medical info sharing and HIPPA violations, just wait for ObamaCare!!  Administrators are even promoting "group medical visits" so 9 strangers can hear you discuss your symptoms with a physician... ObamaCare also mandates physicians inquire about any firearms you may own, tobacco use & your sex life including sexual-orientation...all to be shared with the Fed Govt!! "

My paraphrased response to this poster:
B.S. but thanx for playing. GOP has already attempted too many paranoid distortions about these provisions. Have a nice life.

Even GOP faithful followers either believe the BS they are fed via right wing channels, or they have become so used to any tactic, including pure BS to try and repeal Obamacare. They are so afraid this might just work!
