He's a Libertarian. What did you expect? In his mind, he's being held in chains, whipped in the hot sun, told to work for 17 hours a day, sold like cattle and his family has been sold off to the highest bidder. That's how serious people who make such claims are. They really think ACA actually amounts to physical suffering as well as social and cultural destruction.
I actually have a lot of libertarian views, mostly on the social and personal freedom side, but I am loathe to self-identify as one because if there's one thing many libertarians do these days, it's take hyperbole to absolutely ludicrous extremes. Laws are slavery, taxes are theft, and so on.
