Obamacare: Fed up and moving to Canada? Joke's on you

A bunch of Americans are mulling over (sarcastically) plans to move to Canada after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the heart of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.

  1. Get ready for who exactly? People like this:
  2. Dozens of people started tweeting similar thoughts... We can only assume they were joking.

    Mitt Romney didn't seem too happy about the Supreme Court's decision. "We are going to have a president, and I am that one, that is going to get rid of Obamacare, and we are going to stop it on day one," Romney said even before the decision was announced.
  3. Once all the "moving to Canada" tweets starting popping up, others on Twitter started poking fun at their comments, some unsure whether they were serious or just having some fun themselves.

    Here are some of their reactions:
  4. i'm definitely moving to canada where there is free health care so i don't have to live in a country where there is free health care
  5. This is the last straw, I'm moving to Canada. Where hopefully they have more straw.
  6. Whenever anyone says "That's it! I'm moving to Canada!" I want to say to them you're assuming they'll have you. But I don't.
  7. Moving to Canada to protest Obamacare is like...
  8. Saying you're moving to Canada cause you're upset about Obamacare is like saying you're moving to Hogwarts cause you're upset about magic.
  9. Moving to Canada to "escape" Obamacare is like moving to Somalia because you think the police don't do a good enough job.
  10. Moving to Canada to protest Obamacare is like moving to the sun to protest a heat wave.
