I know I keep all my liberal/leftist friends on facebook for some purpose.
One linked to this story from three years ago:

Back at the beginning of the year, I made the following prediction:
Obamacare: In February, you will start to see a lot of angry posts and pieces from people who are getting hit with Obamacare penalties/taxes. And not only on conservative sites.
