The appropriate, but fruitless response to his FB Page, would be (after asking him to post the letter to his FB Page, because you don't believe it exists) ... "ObamaCare had nothing to do with your employer's decision to purchase a plan that increased your premiums and your out of pocket costs (while reducing his/her contribution). If you don't believe me, ask your employer to provide you documentation of his/her contribution this year versus last year. He/she will probably fire you for questioning his/her veracity; but that'll tell you something else about your employer."

This tactic won't stop him from passing on the lie; but it'll stop him from posting it on his facebook page.
