  Yes, I am inferring, and I am sure correctly, that parent assumed that opposition to PPACA was opposition to any healthcare reform, which supported his preexisting prejudices about ignorant hypocritical Americans, as they are widely promoted in the press. The reason I am sure I am correct about is two reasons. One is that every time I explain problems with PPACA, I am labelled an ignorant health care reform bigot/hater/militant/republitard/teabagger even though I fully support and advocate for single payer. My support for single payer is deemed irrelevant though, all that is important in this debate with most people is that the all concerns with PPACA be dismissed with handwaving, and anyone opposing it is painted an enemy of reform. The second reason is that the majority of people I have talked to who have issues with PPACA also support or are highly positive towards the idea of a single payer system. Therefore I do not believe that every person he talked to who had objections to PPACA was opposed to reform, that was his own inference.
