13. He makes no sense at all

I had to read the article to try and get the context of his quote, and am still confused.

One thing he rails about is that Obamacare registration centers in Callifornia will be secret Democratic party registration drives.

Basically that people will be so happy to get healthcare that they will be pleased to vote for the party that provides it.

Well duh.

So he wants to rally anti-Obamacare opposition. But what is missing is what exactly are they rallying against, what are they offering as an alternative?

And I wish Democrats in Washington at least would STOP calling it Obamacare. That was adopted by the GOP as an insulting slang term that reframed the Affordable Healthcare Act as something completely centered around one man....(the hated black man in the White House). Why hasn't it been given a proper national name like Britain's "National Healthcare" or Canada's "Medicare"? If the Democrats consistently used a proper name, eventually half the nation at least would. Americare?
