1. What a crappy flyer.

I'm really shocked. There is NOTHING informative in here. It's just another graphic that claims certain facts are true without any explanation or even references to find out more, just like so many of the gifs and flyers from the right are claiming certain other "facts" to be true without substantiating them in any way. You don't change minds or inform the public by having a yelling "MY facts!" and "No, MY facts!" at each other. What a pity this wasn't an article that actually contained useful explanations for the public.

2. Is this sarcasm?

It's a fact sheet put out by Doctors for America, not the Obama Admin, but the OP copied it from the Obama Diary site.

Doctors for America is a national movement of physicians and medical students working together to improve the health of the nation and to ensure that everyone has access to affordable, high quality health care.

4. Damn you Obama, for explaining the ACA law!!!!111

I guess there really isn't anything worse for the GOP than misinformed Republicans finally understanding the ACA.

6. LOL

7. Myth: "We can't afford to have it"

Fact: "We can't afford not to have it. By promoting access to the right care, at the right place, at the right time, the ACA was designed to save money while keeping people healthier."

Please, for fuck's sake, show me the "fact's" (based on actual data) in that response.

8. Profit caps. Real competition. Exchanges. Free preventative care.

50 million new insured, all now able to see a doctor for the first time and not go broke doing so.

It's all in the new law... For fuck's sake. You should read it some day.

10. In the law, but not in the flyer. So, my original point was indeed correct.

Thanks for agreeing with me.

9. Kinda funny really

It doesn't even establish how these are the "top ten". Because I'da put "it is universal health care" as the #1 myth. #2 would be "Now everyone can afford health care".
